Online CFMA Conference 2023 Agenda
CFMA’s conference is always a wonderful time to gather and learn with market managers from around Colorado, and this one will be particularly special. The conference is co-hosted at two locations this year, at Noir Farm in Strasburg (Friday) and at the People’s Building, in the heart of Aurora’s diverse, multicultural downtown, on Saturday and Sunday.
We want to offer more time for everyone to connect and network – this is our once-a-year opportunity to build our statewide farmers market community in person! So we’ve extended the conference just a little, starting with lunch on Friday and going through mid-day Sunday.
This year the CFMA Conference will be a hybrid event which means we will have in-person and online attendance available. We hope that you’ll join us in-person – it’s so good to gather and see everyone! But we will also be hosting the conference online via Zoom so that more people are able to attend! With the tech support and equipment that is available to us at the People’s Building, the quality of the virtual conference experience should be really excellent!
We have reserved a block of hotel rooms at two locations. The Aurora location is a few minutes from the People’s Building and the Bennett location is 10-15 minutes from Noir Farm.
We want the conference to be available to everyone. Limited scholarships are available if cost would be a barrier to attending. Please fill out this form to apply for a scholarship.

La conferencia de CFMA siempre es un momento maravilloso para reunirse y aprender con los administradore/as de mercado de todo Colorado, y esta será particularmente especial. Este año, la conferencia se celebra en dos lugares: en Noir Farm, en Strasburg (viernes), y en People’s Building, en el corazón del centro multicultural y diverso de Aurora, el sábado y el domingo.Queremos ofrecer más tiempo para que la gente se conecte y trabaje en colaboración – ¡esta es la oportunidad que tenemos una vez al año de construir nuestra comunidad estatal de mercados agrícolas en persona! Así que hemos ampliado un poco la conferencia, comenzando con el almuerzo del viernes hasta el mediodía del domingo.
Este año la Conferencia CFMA será un evento híbrido, lo que significa que tendremos disponible la asistencia en persona y en línea. Esperamos que te unas a nosotros en persona – ¡es tan bueno reunirse y ver a todas las personas! Pero también celebraremos la conferencia en línea a través de Zoom para que más personas puedan asistir. Con el apoyo tecnológico y el equipo de que disponemos en el People’s Building, la calidad de la experiencia de la conferencia virtual será realmente excelente.
Hemos reservado un grupo de habitaciones de hotel en dos ubicaciones. El del centro está a unos minutos del centro de conferencias y el de Bennett está a 10-15 minutos de Noir Farm.
Queremos que la conferencia esté al alcance de todas las personas. Hay becas limitadas disponibles si el coste es un obstáculo para asistir. Por favor, complete este formulario para solicitar una beca.
