2026 Big Tent Summit

The 2026 Big Tent Summit brings together labor leaders, elected officials, business leaders, and community organizations from across Colorado for one purpose: strengthening the middle class. At a time when families are being squeezed by rising costs and housing shortages, this summit highlights a different approach — one built on collaboration and results, not division. Leaders will come together to tackle the challenges facing Colorado, launch the Colorado Middle Class Agenda, and make a shared commitment to move forward together. Be part of the coalition working to deliver real results for Colorado communities. 

What happens next in Colorado will be shaped by the leaders in this room.
