Go Beyond Networking

Colorado tech’s biggest night of the year, C-Level @ A Mile High!

C-Level @ A Mile High puts attendee connections at the center of our program. At C-Level, we gather 50+ top tech executives and give them the title of “Celebrity”. As our C-Level Celebrities, these executives attend the event to connect with our attendees and share information on upcoming IT projects.

At our largest fundraiser of the year, our C-Level Celebrities put together amazing auction experience packages – such as a Denver Broncos football game, an Italian cooking class, or a snowmobile excursion – that you can bid on throughout the evening in an effort to win the chance to spend even more time with them following the event.

This is a great way to support CTA and the Colorado tech community and to build long-lasting relationships. This event is not to be missed!

Why Attend?

  • Connect with your Peers: C-Level brings together our Colorado tech community for one night of connection, celebration and fun!
  • Optimize your Time – meet top tech executives in one room: More than 50 C-Level Celebrities attend the event to share information about their company and upcoming IT initiatives.
  • Participate in our Celebrity Auction: The C-Level Celebrities’ auction experience packages offer you a chance to continue your conversations with our C-Level Celebrities beyond the event. The funds raised through this auction support CTA and our technology industry year-round.
  • Help your Business Shine: Join the event as a sponsor to align your brand with the best of the best in technology and showcase all that you have to offer in front of Colorado’s top tech leaders and talent.

“The Colorado tech community is very open, collaborative and engaged. What I love about C-Level @ A Mile High are the connections and valuable business relationships that grow out of this event each year. This is an opportunity to gain insight from technology leaders, and at the same time see and explore the vibrant IT landscape we have in Colorado.”
