Bridging and informing industry and government to drive smart policy that fosters and protects a thriving, innovative technology climate. The Tech Affairs Council is a bi-monthly meeting of CTA members coming together to discuss policy and regulatory issues impacting the Colorado tech community. Each meeting features an update on relevant issues and a presentation from stakeholders in the tech policy community.

In January we will be joined by the Executive Director of the Colorado Broadband Office, Brandy Reitter. We'll talk about the funding currently available to help connect 99% of Colorado households to high-speed broadband by the end of 2027.
