About the Speaker Series
The Aims Spotlight Speaker Series is a premier community event series designed to bring inspiring voices, thought leaders, and nationally recognized speakers to Northern Colorado. Throughout the 2026-2027 season, the series will feature engaging conversations focused on leadership, personal growth and ideas that inspire positive change.
The series includes two unique experiences: a full-day Leadership Conference on September 16, 2026, featuring three nationally recognized speakers, interactive conversations, networking opportunities, and opportunities to connect with fellow attendees; and a special evening presentation featuring Tim Tebow on March 30, 2027.
Whether attending the conference or the evening event, guests will have the opportunity to hear powerful stories, gain new perspectives and connect with others from across our community.

These powerful moments can inspire personal growth, strengthen organizations and spark conversations that create positive change throughout our families, workplaces and communities.
