February GMM: Where Arts & Construction Meet

Join us for our February GMM, where we will hear insights into how contractors, designers, and construction professionals can work with Denver Arts & Venues, the City of Boulder and Boulder County, including current initiatives, upcoming projects, and what opportunities lie ahead for firms of all sizes.

A key portion of the discussion will focus on Boulder’s preparation for hosting the Sundance Film Festival, including anticipated economic impact across Boulder and surrounding communities, infrastructure improvements, potential screening venues, and ways local businesses can stay involved and engaged during this internationally recognized event.

During dinner, attendees will also hear from a representative connected to the State Advisory Group for Pre-Manufactured Structures, who will provide an overview of opportunities within pre-manufactured and modular construction. This growing sector offers meaningful entry points and scalable opportunities—particularly for small and local contractors looking to diversify their services and participate in innovative building solutions.

Attendees will also gain behind-the-scenes insight into two of Colorado’s most iconic venues—Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Boettcher Concert Hall. This conversation will highlight backstage and facility operations, ongoing maintenance and infrastructure needs, and how design and construction firms can engage in supporting these world-class performance spaces.
