This year's event is expected to be bigger and
better than last year! We've moved the event to October to reduce
the risk of inclement weather affecting turnout. We've also moved
the event to a much larger venue that offers more space for our
exhibitors and guests, more convenient parking, and free access to
the air and space museum.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Be sure to visit the Kids Mobility Network booth at the expo to meet
Zara Vargues, the reigning Miss Wheelchair Colorado.
