U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and John Hickenlooper (D-CO) together with Colorado Mesa University, the University of Colorado and Colorado State University invite all Colorado residents to apply to the Colorado Capital Conference to be held June 24-26 in Washington, D.C.

One hundred Coloradans from a diverse cross-section of the state will be selected through a competitive application process to participate in this bipartisan conference. During the event, they will have an opportunity to hear from and interact with our nation’s leaders in an informal setting.

“It’s never been more important for Coloradans of every stripe to learn more about our federal government and engage in conversation with one another,” CMU President John Marshall said. “The Colorado Capital Conference is unique, and our nation is begging for citizens to get engaged and find common ground. No matter your party affiliation or geography, we hope all Coloradans apply to join us in Washington, D.C., next summer.”

All applications must be received no later than March 7. Conference participants will be announced by March 19. Participants are responsible for their own accommodations (at a group rate) and airfare. 

There is a $650 registration fee, which covers most meals and conference materials. Guests are welcome to participate in evening events for a prepaid fee of $200.
