Maybe your next meeting just needs a few meeting areas. Maybe it needs a large,
open room. Maybe it doesn’t need a room at all, but a space with open air and
sunshine. Whatever you need, you’ll find it at the newly expanded Colorado
Convention Center! Say hello to more than 130,000 square feet of new space to
meet, greet, and network, now open and available for booking your next event.
It all starts with Colorado’s newest and largest ballroom, the Bluebird Ballroom.
How do you describe it? Endless configurations, 19 different divisions, and
column-free. This 80,000 square-foot space is built to create your vision, whether
you’re planning large galas or more personal meeting spaces. Now if your
attendees want to catch some sun, or just a fun place to congregate, check out the
new rooftop terrace. You and your attendees can soak in all 300 days of Colorado’s
sunshine on this 20,000 square-foot open-air meeting destination. Complete with
cozy fire pits and plenty of selfie spots, it’s perfect for networking and enjoying 150
miles of scenic Rocky Mountain views.
But don’t worry, that’s not the only place to soak in the sights. Sit back, relax, and
network away in the 35,000 square-foot pre-function space. Just take a look out of
the floor-to-ceiling windows for panoramic views of the mountain range and the
Denver skyline. And we didn’t even talk about the networking areas, which are
thoughtfully designed throughout the pre-function space to help your attendees
create magic between the meetings.
Of course, your attendees will probably spend most of their time in a meeting
throughout the Colorado Convention Center, and we made sure they’ll be
comfortable thanks to our state-of-the-art HVAC system. Our new HVAC makes
sure the temperature throughout the Colorado Convention Center is right in the
Goldilocks zone: juuuuuust right. So forget about the shivering and sweating (at
this convention center, anyway).
Whatever your meeting, whenever you need it, Denver and the newly expanded
Colorado Convention Center are ready to help you host it. We’ll see you soon!
