Designed for leadership teams navigating growth, complexity, and culture at scale.
LoCo Leadership Forums is a curated, half-day executive forum hosted by LoCo Think Tank — built specifically for middle-market leadership teams who want real conversation, real peers, and real progress.
This is not a conference.
This is not a mixer.
This is facilitated peer leadership — not passive networking.

Q1 2026 Forum
Radically defining culture.
Radically reinforcing culture.
? Wednesday, March 11, 2026
⏰ 8:30 AM – 2:30 PM
? The Milltop at Ginger & Baker | Fort Collins
? Limited to 76 leaders

Why This Forum Exists
High-performing cultures aren’t built on perks, posters, or slogans.
They’re built on: clear leadership behaviors, consistent standards, trust that holds under pressure.
Culture isn’t an adjective. It’s a verb.
This forum equips middle-market leaders with practical frameworks and peer insight to define, reinforce, and protect culture as their organizations grow.

What Makes This Different
✔ The only in-person leadership forum for middle-market companies in Northern Colorado
✔ Engineered peer interaction — not open networking
✔ Facilitated by experienced leaders, not vendors
✔ Immediate, real-world application

This IS
Curated peer tables (no random seating)
Facilitated leadership conversations
Real problems, real companies, real stakes
Structured interaction across companies and roles

This Is NOT
Open networking mixers
Vendor pitches
Panels with no interaction
Sit-and-listen content marathons

Networking by Design
You will spend more time engaging with peers than listening to speakers.
3+ hours of facilitated peer interaction
2 structured Peer Leadership Labs
Cross-company table rotations
Guided discussions with leaders facing similar challenges
You’ll leave knowing other leaders — not just ideas.

Featured Keynote

Leadership Advisor | Culture & Accountability Expert
Interactive Keynote + Peer Application


Part 1: Radically Defining Culture
Part 2: Radically Reinforcing Culture


Mark’s sessions are designed to immediately feed into peer 'labs': turning insight into action in real time.

Peer Leadership Labs
Lab A: Values of Engagement
How leaders unintentionally shape culture through what they tolerate, reward, and repeat
Define culture through leadership behavior — not values statements.

Lab B: The Correction Model
How leaders address misalignment without eroding trust or culture
Learn a clear, repeatable framework for addressing performance issues while protecting trust and standards.

You will leave with:
- A practical understanding of how trust is built, maintained, and repaired through everyday leadership behaviors
- The ability to solve real performance and alignment issues directly — without creating new problems
- A fundamental shift in how culture is understood: from something you HAVE to something you DO

Who Should Attend
This forum is designed primarily for leadership teams of mid-sized organizations, but we welcome any leader who resonates with the challenges mentioned.

Also a Good Fit If You…
- Lead a smaller or earlier-stage company that is growing quickly
- Are part of a professional services firm supporting middle-market clients
- Hold a senior leadership role and want deeper peer conversation than typical networking events offer
- Are stepping into greater leadership responsibility and want practical frameworks — not theory
- If you’re responsible for people, performance, and culture, and you want to learn alongside leaders facing real organizational complexity, you’ll be welcome in the room.
