Welcome to the fi rst CU Denver | Anschutz WELL CONNECTED Symposium on health and well-being in built environments. The symposium is a forum for sharing ideas, insights, innovations and research in the

continuously evolving area of creating spaces, places, programs and policies that enhance and sustain the

well-being of people.

The purpose of WELL CONNECTED is to bring together public health, architecture, planning, development,

fi nance and human resource practitioners and experts from academia, non-profi t and business to present

and discuss the front-line challenges, opportunities and successes in creating WELL buildings and

communities, and to explore cross-professional relationships that help you and your organization succeed in

creating a culture of health and well-being.

We are very fortunate to have as our plenary speakers, Dr. Lee Newman, Director of the Center for

Health, Work & Environment at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and Whitney Austin-Grey, Executive Director of Research & Innovation of the International Well Building Institute (IWBI),

as well as a diverse group of local and national thought-leaders joining us as presenters and panelists.

We extend our thanks to our presenters, panelists and the many individuals who contributed to the

development of this symposium. A very special thanks goes to our sponsors, who add signifi cantly to our

Thank you for joining us and for demonstrating your commitment to the future health and well-being of Coloradans and people globally.
