Since the drafting and passage of the Colorado Water Plan, the Denver Metro Chamber has called for collaboration and innovative, bold steps to better use, conserve and store water – and avoid future projected water shortfalls. It will continue that conversation, hearing from experts locally and internationally, about innovations using this precious resource – and a special keynote from Gov. John Hickenlooper on the status of the state’s first water plan – on Tuesday, Nov. 7, at the Chamber’s Business H20.
WHAT: Business H20, presented by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, will bring together 200 business and civic leaders to discuss the state of water in Colorado and opportunities to partner and innovate.
WHO: Gov. John Hickenlooper will keynote the event, followed by three fast-paced, TED Talk-style presentations from business leaders who have found innovative ways to save water. Presenters include:
- Josh Kram, senior director for Middle East Affairs for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- Kim Marotta, global senior director of corporate responsibility for Molson Coors
- Emily Morris, CEO of Emrgy (a start-up that focuses on the delivery of hydropower)
WHEN: 11 to 11:30 a.m. networking and registration; 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. program on Tuesday, Nov. 7.
WHERE: Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, 1400 Curtis St.
