Major Denver Conventions, Meetings and Events

If you have any flexibility in the dates on which you wish to travel, it is always best to make sure you are not choosing a time to go to a city during a major convention or other major event (unless, of course, that is the reason that you are going!). Denver can have a number of large gatherings each year, but also be wary of the weeks where there are multiple intermediate sized conventions or other major events, including sporting events, festivals, concerts and parades. Denver has a large amount of hotel rooms, however prices and availability can be effected during a large Denver convention or major Denver event. In addition, the effect on the Denver International Airport (DIA), flight delays and flight overbooking, traffic, cabs and shuttles can effect your travels, and increased volume can also translate into increased time and cost. If a Denver event is occurring in the part of the city where you are heading, traffic and parking can be an issue. In additional Colorado has a definite seasonal volume fluctuation, so always plan on some extra travel time during ski season. We have listed some of the largest Denver conferences, and some additional useful links to help you anticipate crowds and expect delays. The Denver events and festivals can effect your Denver travels, but if you have a flight delay, you might even want to go to some of them yourself!
