SFC outgoing Executive Director/Entrepreneurship Initiative Director and Colorado Law Associate Professor, Brad Bernthal, is moving on to his next chapter. Before he does, we’re bringing the community together! Everyone who’s crossed paths, clashed ideas, and shared in the adventure over the past 21 years is invited.

This is a celebration, not a roast (but yes, we’re absolutely taking a few shots at Bernthal). This is a send-off, but also, a reckoning. We’ll look back on what we learned (or thought we learned) over the past 21 years. We’ll imagine the next 21, what is coming, and what might matter most. Expect a mash-up of semi-serious talks, wild opinions, bold reflections, and lighthearted takes.

Bring your stories, your hot takes, your laughter, and your love. Brad’s legacy is the community, and this is our moment to make noise, have fun, and celebrate him and others who helped shape it.

Program + Reception
We will interleave some semi-serious talks with some light topics for the formal portion of the event. A lively reception with food, refreshments, and conversation with SFC faithfuls will immediately follow.
