A Really Big Show - Colorado Conference and Convention Centers

From the heart of the city to the rolling hills of the countryside, Colorado conference and convention centers offer just about everything you can imagine for your event. Whether you’re planning a convention, trade show, or conference, these venues turn any event into a really big show!

Up North, Down South

If your event would be enhanced by a central and convenient location, on-site catering and restaurant, breathtaking views, and exhibit space that’s as functional as it is expansive, then look no further than the Budweiser Events Center a 7200-seat multi-purpose venue in Loveland, Colorado. The center is part of a larger 374,000 square-foot fairground complex called The Ranch Events Complex, which includes the Ranch-Way Feeds Indoor Arena, two livestock pavilions, the First National Bank Exhibition Building and the Thomas M. McKee Building. The Budweiser Events Center and The Ranch have become the sports, entertainment and agricultural hub for one of the fastest growing areas in the country.

But if eco friendly is what you have in mind, then you should explore the Two Rivers Convention Center + The Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction. With nearly 23,000 square feet of space, Two Rivers can accommodate up to 2,000 people. Most impressively, it has gone “green,” including recycling and the use of Earth-friendly cleaning products, in addition to the completion of renovation projects with features like solar panels and carpet made from recycled materials.

For as much as Coloradans take pride in the north country, it’s important to recognize we love the southern region of our state as well. What’s not to love? For example, Young Life Properties with camps Frontier Ranch and Trail West Lodge located in both Buena Vista and The Venue Crooked Creek Ranch in Fraser, Colorado. The camps are picturesque, rustic and ideal for retreats for non-profit organizations. Or, the Pueblo Convention Center in Pueblo (of course) where you’ll discover over 21,000 square feet of meeting space, featuring 16,200 square feet of premium exhibit hall and ballroom, 3,000 square feet in five inviting meeting rooms, and a generous 2,120 square foot pre-function lounge.

Bright lights, big city

Of course, nothing beats bringing your bunch to a metropolitan area, where everything is close by - fine restaurants, wonderful hotels, theaters, museums, shopping and so much more. If your event needs to be in the heart of the action, consider the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Popular for conventions, trade shows, and other big events, this state-of-the-art facility with easy traffic flow and a stunningly beautiful building, rests at the heart of downtown Denver. It’s conveniently located within easy walking distance of over 8,400 hotel rooms, 300 restaurants, 9 theatres of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and a wide variety of shopping and retail outlets.

In fact, Denver’s surrounding areas offer several other wonderful options as well, including the The Summit Conference + Event Center in Aurora, the Hilton Denver Inverness in Englewood, and the Infinity Park Event Center in Glendale.

Want to be closer to the city? Well, why not? Then the Denver Mart or the Conference and Event Services of the University of Denver might be more to your liking.

Wherever you ultimately go, your goal is to produce the meeting or event that’s going to be so epic, so legendary, that it will remain in the memories of your attendees for years to come. Choose one of these venues, and that will most assuredly happen.
