Join us for a relaxed and energizing Summer Networking Social hosted by the Denver Chapter of the Exit Planning Institute — an organization dedicated to bringing together a local community of advisors to collaborate, share best practices, and expand exit planning awareness. This year’s summer gathering will feature live music from the Mark Morris Trio (MM3) — a Colorado-based ensemble inspired by mountain culture and the outdoor lifestyle. Featuring Mark Morris on guitar and lead vocals, Charlie Parker Mertens on upright bass, and Jon Wirtz on keys, MM3 blends classical, gypsy, bluegrass, pop, swing, and world rhythms into a sound shaped by the spirit of the mountains. Their unique global influences and Colorado roots create the perfect backdrop for a memorable summer evening. Come build on existing professional relationships, spark new connections, and deepen your bench of trusted advisors — all while enjoying refreshing drinks, meaningful conversation, and exceptional live music. It’s a fun, informal way to connect with like-minded leaders in the local exit planning community.
