B:CIVIC Programs
The Ask Me Anything programs features two to three active social responsibility professionals. These professionals share the background and then participate in an open dialogue with attendees, to answer questions about their role and professional journey, current and future trends, partnerships and anything else you want to hear about!
The B:CIVIC Summit is the largest ESG and CSR conference in the Rocky Mountain region, hosted every fall. The conference hosts local and national, keynote and workshop speakers for 14-plus sessions to share expertise on national trends, best practices and critical CSR, DEI and ESG programming. At this year’s B:CIVIC Summit, Accelerating Together, presented by DaVita and Delta Dental of Colorado, more than 400 community leaders and CSR and ESG professionals will gather in Denver on Nov. 2.
As the CSR and ESG landscape continues to shift, we have an opportunity as leaders to make space to collaborate with one another, accelerate our organizations, collectively define our roles, and ignite a movement together. This year’s conference will provide actionable speakers and sessions, empowering you to return to work with new connections, fresh ideas, skills, and strategies to implement immediately. For individuals interested in being on the Summit committee or speaking, please contact staff.
The University of Colorado-Boulder Leeds School of Business Certification in ESG Strategy, in partnership with B:CIVIC, is designed to address the evolving needs of CSR practitioners, regardless of role or title.

New in 2021, B:CIVIC now offers scholarships for a Colorado-based cohort to increase access to CSR.
