EDCC’s EDIE Awards Dinner + Ceremony
Master of Ceromony – TBD
 The most recognized award in Economic Development in Colorado, the EDIE Award represents outstanding achievements by its members, organization volunteers, communities, Colorado companies and legislators. The EDIE Award statuette embodies the innovative pioneer spirit of those in both the private and public sectors in pursuit of excellence in the name of community.Â
Continuing the Tradition! In 2022, we launched a new tradition rooted in local craftsmanship to create the EDIE Awards. To honor Colorado’s innovative pioneer spirit, these awards are uniquely designed and forged by local artists to represent the heart of their community. After starting this journey with steel-crafted honors in Pueblo, we are proud to bring this artistic tradition to the historic gold mining town of Cripple Creek.
Who should attend? We invite our rural and urban, public and private-sector, for-profit and not-for-profit, individual communities, counties, and regional organizations, local and state government, chambers of commerce, universities, and private industry stakeholders.
We also invite all EDIE Award Winners, their families, friends, and colleagues to celebrate with us.
