PEBC 2026 Colorado Education Workforce Forum

PEBC’s Colorado Education Workforce Forum:
Leading in Times of Conflict: Strategies for Today’s Workplace
May 6, 2026Tivoli Turnhalle on Denver’s Auraria Campus
  • 7:30–8:00 a.m. Breakfast Buffet
  • 8:00–9:00 a.m. Program
  • Tickets are $50
Led by Dr. Katy Anthes, former Colorado Commissioner of Education and current Director of the FORWARD Initiative at PEBC, this forum will combine a short keynote with facilitated table conversations to help participants:
  • Build greater awareness and empathy for how polarization is affecting the education workforce;
  • Gain practical, research-informed strategies for navigating high-conflict situations; and
  • Explore how leaders across education, business, and community organizations can move FORWARD — together

This is not a panel or lecture-style event. Participants will engage with ideas that translate into real-world action.

Whether you lead in education, business, philanthropy, or a mission-driven organization, we hope you’ll join us to gain tangible tools, shared language, and renewed perspective for leading through division in Colorado’s communities.

More details and registration information will be available soon!
