Destination Denver

Experience Denver Colorado
The Colorado Convention Center (CCC) is a world-class venue in the heart of downtown Denver, known for its striking architecture and the iconic 40-foot "Big Blue Bear" sculpture peering into the lobby. It recently underwent a massive expansion, making it one of the most modern meeting spaces in the country.
Located at 700 14th Street in the heart of downtown Denver, the LEED Gold Certified Colorado Convention Center is a premier, highly accessible venue featuring over 2.2 million square feet of flexible space, including the 5,000-seat Bellco Theatre and the expansive, column-free Bluebird Ballroom. Attendees benefit from seamless transit via an on-site light rail station and close proximity to over 13,000 hotel rooms, while modern amenities like the 20,000-square-foot rooftop terrace offer panoramic Rocky Mountain views alongside high-tech meeting infrastructure.
