What?

For the past four years, BMA Colorado has brought the brightest marketing minds together to help
the B2B marketing community learn, engage, and bring ROI to their companies through outstanding
marketing education at the BMA Global Conference Series.

As this signature event, BMA Colorado also hosts a Silent Auction. Proceeds go to support BMA
Education Programs and Outreach, including our Student Scholarship Program.

Why?

The Business Marketing Association is a national organization of business-to-business marketers.
The Colorado Chapter of BMA hosts a Regional Conference each year to deliver the latest marketing
trends and intelligence to our area. BMA Colorado’s annual fundraising auctions support our
education, operations, programming and events.

When and Where?

The event and silent auction will be held Friday, September 11, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm at The Westin
Westminster. Auction items will be featured, along with an opportunity to network and socialize with
your peers. We expect another sold-out crowd this year at the event – approximately 250-275
marketers.
