Northern Colorado continues to be one of the most dynamic regions in Colorado. Every week, we see businesses growing, entrepreneurs taking risks, employers navigating change and community partners working together to strengthen the future of our region.

That is why I am excited to invite you to join us for the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce 2026 State of Business on Wednesday, June 24 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Biergarten at Anheuser-Busch.

This annual event is an opportunity to bring our business community together for an important conversation about where we are, what we are seeing and what may be ahead for Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. It is also a chance to connect with fellow business leaders, entrepreneurs, community partners and local decision-makers who care deeply about the economic health of our region.

We believe business is the cornerstone of community. When businesses succeed, our community is stronger for it. Jobs are created, families are supported, local organizations are strengthened and opportunities continue to grow. That is why understanding the current state of business matters.

This year, we will take a meaningful look at the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping our local business landscape. We will reflect on the current conditions facing employers and business owners, share observations about the regional economy and look ahead to what is next. Of course, we will also make time for what the Chamber does best: bringing people together.

Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy food, music and beer in a relaxed setting while connecting with others across the business community. Whether you are a Chamber member, business owner, community partner or simply someone invested in the future of Northern Colorado, we would love to have you with us.

I hope you will make plans to join us for this signature Chamber event. The state of business in Northern Colorado is something we all help shape, and I look forward to being in conversation with you as we continue working together to build a strong, connected and prosperous region.

See you at the Biergarten!
