2024 Colorado 811 Annual Damage Prevention Summit Wrap-Up

With a shared commitment to improving damage prevention practices across Colorado, Colorado 811 hosted over 100 utility owners, operators, professional excavators, and locators on September 17, 2024, at the newly redesigned Colorado 811 Annual Damage Prevention Summit & Annual Member Meeting at the Great Wolf Lodge in Colorado Springs.

Education took center stage, with a focus on providing participants with the latest knowledge, best practices, data, and techniques essential for improving safety, optimizing locate requests, and preventing damage to underground utilities. The event also included a fun networking lunch combined with a spirited game of Damage Prevention Trivia, as well as several prize giveaways including a Big Green Egg Grill, Yeti Coolers, and Flat Screen TV!

This year’s 2024 Colorado 811 Summit was made possible by Colorado 811 and funding received from multiple industry sponsors. This combined support was crucial to provide a stage for industry professionals to come together, share knowledge, and advance damage prevention efforts in Colorado.

Based on this year’s overwhelming positive feedback and event success, next year’s 2025 Colorado 811 Damage Prevention Summit & Expo will be even bigger! The 2025 conference will be a 2-day event that includes even more education sessions, networking opportunities, a Damage Prevention Relay Race, a Mock Line Strike, and more – a must attend event in 2025.
