24-hour access
Use the 905 Garden of the Gods space any time you need a workspace, meeting room, or a quiet office.
The ACA isn't another networking group. It's a private business club at 905 Garden of the Gods Road where small business owners share work, share wins, and help each other navigate what's next — including the AI shift reshaping how every small business gets found.
For decades, the ACA has been a place Colorado Springs entrepreneurs come to find each other — not to pitch, not to chase carrots, but to actually build relationships that lead to real work.
In 2026, the way small businesses get found is shifting fast. AI is changing how people search, how they choose, how they decide who to trust. Most small business owners don’t have a playbook for that yet. We’re building one — together — with the team at DVMH Group as our strategic partner.
We bring the room, the relationships, and seven decades of small business DNA. They bring the brand intelligence, the AI craft, and the production capability. The chapter doesn’t lose what makes it the ACA. It gains what comes next.
For our members
24-hour club access, BDTs, monthly socials, weekly workshops on brand and AI, and a chapter that has your back.
For the community
Open workshops, town-hall events, and partnerships with the Colorado Springs Health & Fitness Expo, Pikes Peak SBDC, UCCS, and more on the way.
BDTs, workshops, socials, member events, town halls. The chapter calendar lives behind a shared member password — not because it’s secret, but because it isn’t for the open internet.
Current members received the password in chapter comms. Lost it? Email Mike.

Same programming · ACA only
The same Vendor Success Studio programming DVMH built for the CS Health & Fitness Expo — restaged exclusively for ACA members. Live brand build, brief delivery, AI-era positioning, and a working studio session. No competition with paid Expo vendors; this is yours.
Open to members & community
Sandi Griffin’s annual Colorado Springs event. ACA members can plug in four ways — attend, exhibit as a vendor, volunteer with the DVMH team at the Vendor Success Booth, or raise your hand for the public Studio programming alongside Expo vendors.
What are you most excited about? What worries you? What’s missing? What could we do better? We’re building the next 12 months around your answers — not our assumptions.
The 5-question temperature check will appear here once the Tally form is created. Until then, drop a note to mdevousjr@dvmh.group.
