2026 Leadership Pikes Peak Community Summer Conference

Leading with Purpose: Agile Leadership in Changing Times

Ent Center for the Arts at UCCS

June 24, 2026
9:00 AM-5:00 PM

Leadership is rooted in learning and nowhere is that more evident than in the community spaces of our region. This year’s Leadership Pikes Peak Summer Conference explores how professional development, in all its forms, drives economic mobility, civic engagement, and social impact.

Whether you're a business leader, mentor, policymaker, or youth advocate, you're shaping the future; one person, one neighborhood, one action at a time. We invite community leaders, educators, practitioners, and changemakers to join us and become inspired, equipped, and ready to mobilize others to lead where they live.

During this conference, networking is always available in the ENT Center Ross Lobby during all session times!
