Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) July 11, 2016 -- Millennial Week, an innovative event series for young professionals founded in the nation’s capital, will come to Denver August 17-19, 2016.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation's largest living generation. As such, their importance and influence is on the rise as they continue to become breadwinners, leaders and rising stars of the nation’s economy.
“We are a diverse group of driven, tech-savvy, community-minded Americans that are making big waves in society by swaying elections, disrupting industries and reshaping America’s cities,” said Natalie M. Moss, director & founder, Millennial Week. “Millennial Week events focus on the impact of millennials on culture, enterprise and society; the events cultivate, promote and share the most meaningful ideas and trends from this community of 18 to 35 year olds.”
This event series is created by millennials, for a millennial audience and is uniquely designed to engage and inspire. The content will focus primarily on millennials involved in entrepreneurship, civic engagement and social innovation. Attendees will gain a wealth of information and connections by attending the Millennial Townhall, the Startup Lounge or by being nominated for an 80/95 Award.

The networking reception will highlight the positive impact created by the generation. Award categories will focus on entrepreneurship, civic engagement and lifestyle & culture. Additional awards will recognize companies committed to helping millennials foster change in these areas.
