As everyone is throwing themselves into work right now – or still recovering from the holidays –many organizations are taking a brief break from events in January. However, there are still a few promising events to kick off the new year and get you excited about your career path in 2018!
PRSA Colorado
Last year provided a lot of fodder for Gil Rudawsky’s annual “PR Hits and Misses” event. Rudawksy of Denver-based GroundFloor Media take a tongue-in-cheek look at the year’s biggest PR studs and duds on Jan. 17 at the PPA Event Center. Tickets start at $40. Register here.

Denver Press Club
The Denver Press Club has multiple events during January to warm you up via beer, network and assist freelancers.
The Club is hosting an all-things beer discussion at the Club on Jan. 25. Gary Valliere and Jonathan Shikes, co-hosts of Colorado Beer Radio on AM 760, will discuss Colorado’s oldest brewery Tivoli, the birth of taprooms, award-winning Dry Dock brewery and more. The tasting gets you six beers for $12 for Club members and costs $15 for non-members.
The Club’s new series of freelancer-oriented programming and social opportunities kicks off with special educational panel on Jan. 29. “The taxing situation of freelancing” will discuss how to do your taxes as a freelancer with a panel of public accounts and business advisors.
