Meeting attendees can relax and revive in more than 2,200 rooms at a variety of establishments. Spring, summer, and fall bring robust festival seasons, ample outdoor activities from which to choose, and miles upon miles of trails to explore. Arts and culture come alive in winter here, and downtown glows with a holiday ambiance like no other.
4. Meet UnCONVENTIONal. With so many outdoor recreational opportunities, 280+ miles of bike lanes and trails, and 14 microbreweries just minutes away, Fort Collins meeting attendees will find their experience here goes way beyond the meeting rooms. Fort Collins offers many unique options to work and meet outside the box with unique team building activities and a chance to take a break with a hike or bike ride.
5. Don’t take our word for it! Lots of folks think Fort Collins is pretty special.
