HeadWaters Conference 2011

This year's HeadWaters Conference was held at the Sheraton Downtown in Denver, Colorado and once we had navigated the maze of a hotel, everyone found the friendly Upstream staff ready to great them and guide them to their next event. We had some wonderful, dynamic speakers who discussed how to position your firm for growth in this changing economy.

Reception

Thursday night's reception gave participants a chance to network with others while enjoying some good conversation, tasty appetizers and a variety of drinks.

Attendees also had a chance to meet our conference sponsors, David Bergstein and Chuck Moss from CCH, Steven Vono from NAPLIA and Michelle Arnold from Ernst & Morris.

Reception

 

The evenings left participants free to find their own entertainment, and most took advantage of the many restaurants and clubs along the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall.

Despite the wide range of restaurants, clubs and diners, several participants found that they had picked the exact same spots. Others found a comedy club, some of their favorite shops, or a surprise early premiere of the new Harry Potter movie.

Thank you to everyone involved. We hope it was an enjoyable and educational experience.

See you all at the BestPractices Conference in October or next year for HeadWaters 2012!
