Distinguished Speaker Series
These events feature nationally recognized sustainable business practice experts, sometimes singly, sometimes in a panel discussion. They are generally evening receptions that include considerable networking time before and after the program.
Member Receptions
The Membership Committee of CORE hosts quarterly member receptions. No programming, lots of networking and an opportunity for a member to bring a guest and introduce them to CORE.
Colorado CleanTech Initiative (CCI)
The Colorado Cleantech Initiative is a monthly networking and business development venue hosted jointly by CORE and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Its purpose is to promote economic development throughout Colorado by fostering the development of a robust cleantech industry cluster, with a supporting network that includes successful serial business entrepreneus, development professionals that go beyond business mentoring, a wide range of investors (including numerous angels and VCs), and others such as marketing experts. In addition, CCI provides access to virtual and traditional incubation services. Meetings are held at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce (1445 Market Street) on the last Tuesday of every month from 4:30 - 7:30 PM. They include networking time and presentations by emerging cleantech companies and/or clean energy experts.
