"The Allard Capital Conference is a unique opportunity for Colorado residents to interact with our Nation's leaders in Washington, DC. In an ever-changing political environment, the Capital Conference provides key insights into how our government works. The Capital Conference is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Participants leave the conference with an enhanced understanding of how to positively affect public policy, as well as with new-found knowledge of the federal legislative process."

 “Colorado State University is pleased once again to sponsor the Allard Capital Conference as part of our ongoing commitment to provide innovative, firsthand learning experiences for the people of Colorado. Understanding the relationship between the public and private sectors is essential to being a responsible and informed citizen and an active participant in the governing of our country.

The Allard Capital Conference provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the operation of our federal government and its impact on our state and region. The impressive range of speakers and learning opportunities will leave you with an extraordinary and memorable experience.”
