“We are thrilled to have the region’s only technology conference of this magnitude right here in Denver, CO,” says Su Hawk, President of CSIA. “We are bringing together some of the highest caliber of speakers from both coasts and showcasing the most innovative technologies that are being created right here in Colorado, the crossroads of technology, innovation and growth. Companies in Colorado and surrounding states like New Mexico, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska and Kansas no longer have to worry about missing the big tech conferences that are held on the east and west coasts every year due to budgetary concerns. They can send their teams to DEMOGala at a fraction of the price while still getting the impact of a national technology conference, all right here in Denver.”
