About CSIA

CSIA is the state’s largest and most influential technology association. Since its beginning in 1994, CSIA has provided hundreds of programs, workshops and major events to create connections and portals for information.  CSIA also provides leadership for key issues in the industry. Through the work of more than 100 key volunteers, board members and staff, CSIA also serves as an industry advocate for C-Level connections, legislative/regulatory leadership, and local influencers including news media, government leaders and other industry leaders.

CSIA represents more than 5,000 software companies, nearly 1,000 hardware/storage and related technology companies, and 175,000 IT workers throughout the state.  We get technology leaders across the state involved in the trends and issues of the industry.

Connecting the Colorado Technology Community
CSIA delivers programs and services that assist Colorado technology companies to effectively compete in regional, national, and global marketplaces. Our organization fosters cooperative working relationships and serves as a common meeting ground to share best practices, insight and advanced information.  We enable technology leaders to increase profitability and success. CSIA also works closely with our state government to proactively initiate and support legislation to advance the state's technology industries.

C-Level Insight
The technology industry is full of inspiration and ideas, and it is through the sharing of those insights that businesses grow and succeed. Much of CSIA's focus as an organization is on developing and presenting quality programs for our community, members, and peer-to-peer groups including CEO and CIO forums.

Our influential speakers include a variety of local leaders, government officials and national industry professionals covering subjects that range from e-discovery, international development and healthcare IT to IT and renewable energy, mergers and acquisitions, and online collaboration of social communities.

Key Connections: Building Your Network
Business happens through connections. CSIA offers many opportunities to network and interact with industry leaders to hear about key developments and discuss new ideas. You'll also meet other CSIA member companies and executives enabling you to create and expand business relationships with current and potential customers, vendors, and partners.  Strong networks result in many referrals for members of CSIA.

Advocacy: A Unified Industry Voice
Another of CSIA's primary missions is to monitor state and federal regulations and legislation that affect technology industries. As Colorado's leading technology industry organization, CSIA works on behalf of our members to ensure that our industry's voice is heard -- a voice with the experience, access, knowledge and influence to effectively represent the diverse interests of the technology industry.
