Weifield has been named a 2016 ColoradoBiz Top Company Awards finalist! The 2016 ColoradoBiz Top Company event promises a night of entertainment, surprises and guest speakers, including Gov. John Hickenlooper and the 11 winners of the prestigious Top Company Awards.

The ColoradoBiz magazine program, now in its 29th year, will be held Aug. 25 at the Seawell Ballroom in the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The event recognizes outstanding businesses across industry categories based on challenging but equal opportunity criteria.

A panel of cross-sector judges convened to decide which of the 100-plus nominations received this year would be called Top Companies ― a difficult task, as the competition was fierce.

“The Top Company Awards is the most anticipated awards event of the year,” ColoradoBiz Publisher Sylvia Harmon said. “We are excited to announce the winners this year for the most prestigious and competitive business award in the state.”

Denver Channel 4 News Anchor Brittani Moreno will emcee the event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. All 33 finalists will participate in the awards celebration, with the top 11 winners ― one from each category ― unveiled at the Top Company event
