Advocacy
Tech is constantly evolving, and due to the quick changing nature of our industry oftentimes laws and regulations do not keep pace.
CTA monitors these issues on our members behalf and maintains relationships with public officials and decision makers to inform and influence.
Tech Day at the Capitol
Tech Day at the Capitol is an event for tech companies in Colorado to represent the state’s tech industry and connect with policy makers to educate and inform them on your company or organization and the role you play in the overall Colorado tech ecosystem. Receive the latest updates and showcase your company and technology to our state leaders.
For more information, please contact Megan Sparks at megan_c@coloradotechnology.org.
