A Message From the 2023 ITGA Conference Hosts
Our conference theme is Building Resilient Communities, and we cordially invite you to visit and experience our version of that relationship between the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University.
You’ve waited for years and been patient through the pandemic, and it’s finally time for ITGA to gather in Colorado! Join us June 7-9, 2023 for the annual conference in beautiful Fort Collins, or "FoCo" as the locals call it.

To enhance the conference experience, we ask that you take some time and consider topics you would like for us to tackle. For example, do you want to learn more about student conduct issues in the community, university police best practices, neighborhood and college issues or economic development? Would you like to hear from city police, city managers, or off-campus housing professionals?

We need you to help us choose speakers and topics. Please take the short survey and assist us in providing a rich and meaningful conference for all attendees.
