Colorado’s Exchange
for Business
Development Education, Insight, & Impact
Founded in 2022, the BD Guild of Colorado was created by a passionate group of business development professionals as a resource for those managing the relationships that drive their firm’s growth.
In 2025, the organization evolved into the BD Exchange, continuing its mission to provide a platform where BD professionals can expand their knowledge, build networks, learn from peers, and advance the profession. Open to professionals from all sectors, the BD Exchange fosters collaboration and growth across the industry.
Later that year, the BD Exchange achieved 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the business development community through education, connection, and professional advancement.
Today, the BD Exchange offers education, resources, and a supportive community for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. Through training and volunteer-led events, we connect business development and operations leaders to elevate the industry. In 2026, our Northern Chapter will expand opportunities for growth and connection beyond the Denver metro area.
“I’ve been attending the BD Exchange events since 2020, and the expertise within the BD community has become an invaluable resource in advancing my career. The networking opportunities are outstanding as this group truly knows everyone in the A/E/C world.”
Their connections reach not only across the local market but also extend nationally, creating opportunities and relationships
that go far beyond expectations.”
Jenni Kelly, Director of Business Development, Anchor Engineering
