The Boulder Chamber welcomed business and community leaders from across the region to its 2026 Celebration of Leadership, an annual event that recognizes the individuals and organizations shaping the Boulder region’s economic vitality, innovation, and community strength.  

It’s a line about forethought — about doing the hard, often invisible work long before the moment demands it. It parallels the mission of the Boulder Chamber and its many partners as they prepare local businesses and surrounding communities for one of the world’s most recognized cultural events.

This preparatory work for the Sundance Film Festival is ambitious and deeply collaborative.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind summer social at Tebo’s Garage, featuring an extraordinary collection of 450+ cars, from vintage classics to rare, iconic showpieces like the Batmobile and more. This event is part of our 2026 fundraising efforts for the Boulder Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization focused on advancing our community.

For 22 years, the Boulder International Film Festival has been more than just a weekend at the movies. It has grown into one of Boulder County’s most beloved cultural traditions—an event that brings neighbors together, celebrates creativity, and reminds us why storytelling still matters in a fast-moving digital world.

And this year, that celebration carries even more meaning.

The Boulder Creative Expo, a newly-formed, annual in-person showcase of Boulder’s exceptional creative talent, from filmmakers and graphic designers to producers, editors, craft services, photographers, equipment rentals, and so much more!

To be clear, there is a great deal to appreciate in the most recent draft update to the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, also known as the BVCP or simply the comp plan. The document reflects thoughtful work and meaningful community engagement.

Submit your nomination for the 2026 Women Who Light The Community Award and let us know about a woman or emerging youth who is making a significant impact in our community through their work and advocacy for a vibrant, inclusive Boulder.

Nominations are accepted until June 15, 2026.

The Sundance Film Festival is coming to Boulder in 2027, and we’re here to help local businesses, property owners, brands, and Festival partners make the most of this landmark cultural moment.
