The perfect blend of outdoor adventure and urban sophistication. That’s the duality locals love about the Mile High City. With snowcapped peaks providing a spectacular backdrop, Denver is as refined as it is laid-back. It’s a place where aerospace engineers rub elbows with rock climbers at local brewpubs, at art festivals, or while strolling their favorite pedestrian mall. And with 300 days of sunshine per year, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with Denver the first time they visit.

Tourism is a major industry in Colorado. In fact, one out of three delegates attending a convention or event in Denver takes a pre or post event vacation, a percentage that is twice the national average. That’s why events in Denver regularly break attendance records. In the past few years, the city has added $7 billion of attractions, including new restaurants, art museums, a new opera house, three sports stadiums and more – all in a lively and entertaining downtown.
