Denver International Airport (DEN) is the economic engine that connects Colorado to the world — driving tourism, trade, and job growth while anchoring the state's place as a gateway to the Rockies. What happens when passenger demand and route growth start to outpace the infrastructure built to handle them?

Join us for this luncheon featuring Laura Jackson, Vice President of Air Service Development and Aviation Research, and Stacey Stegman, Senior Vice President of Communications, Marketing and Customer Experience, both of DEN, as they discuss the trends behind the airport's passenger and route growth, the construction and infrastructure investments keeping pace with record traffic, and how DEN tells that growth story to the traveling public.

Laura Jackson has spent more than two decades in aviation and international trade, currently leading DEN's efforts to recruit new airlines, retain existing service, and track the market trends shaping the airport's growth. She holds an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management and a BA in Economics and International Studies from the University of Richmond, and serves on the boards of the World Trade Center Denver and the Japan America Society of Colorado, among others.

Stacey Stegman leads DEN's communications, marketing, and customer experience efforts, shaping how the airport tells its growth story to millions of travelers each year. A longtime Colorado resident with more than two decades in public-sector communications — including time at the Colorado Department of Transportation — she holds a BA in Speech Communication and Rhetoric from the University of Colorado Denver.

This in-person luncheon will be at the MSU Denver Jordan Student Success Building on the 4th floor. If driving, please allow a little extra time for parking and payment. More info can be found here.
