A year ago we asked you: Is it time for another Forum? Over 220 of you responded “Yes!” and told us what would make it great. Today we're excited to announce an innovative, results-driven Forum 2016 in KFLA's hometown.


Registration for Forum 2016 is Now Open!


Inspired by your input, and in partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s strategic focus on Putting Children First, the question "how do we create a future where all children thrive?" guides our design team as we create a Forum that is built for multi-sector action.

Venue

We're gathering at the beautiful new Westin Denver International Airport—walk from your flight straight to Forum 2016!

Community Connections

Steps away from our convening space, the new (2016) rail station will connect you directly to downtown Denver and multiple in-community tracks and events.

Built for Action

The design team is building a framework driven by a commitment to actionable outcomes for Forum 2016.

We'll call on you for presentations and partnerships that will generate critical action steps.

Cross-Sector by Design

Unified by our guiding focus, this Forum will tackle many of the top multi-sectoral issues identified by Fellows.

From Education to Equity, Health to Food Systems and more—whatever moves you to action: we need your voice and expertise at this important event.

Enrichment & Renewal

While the focus of the main event will be action and results-oriented, sessions such as "Workshops, Tools & Skills" will provide key opportunities for skill-building, self-care, and reconnection.
