Summer Social Gatherings That Can’t Be Beat

A summer gathering in Colorado is a must! With more moderate temperatures and a drier climate than many other regions of the United State, Colorado presents ideal weather, ample fresh air and the scenery and activities of the majestic Rocky Mountains. We represent venues around the state that are ideal for a social gathering of business leaders, associations, working professionals and other groups.

No matter the size of your group, our outstanding facilities can accommodate your needs. Choose from larger venues with top-of-the-line technology to more intimate spaces for a smaller gathering. From mountain meeting areas at the world’s finest resorts to excellent spaces in downtown Denver only minutes from the airport, there are exceptional sites all over the state.

Summer also is a prime time for groups to unleash energy at the state’s outstanding amusement parks, water parks and zoos and to catch outdoor concerts at all sorts of venues from parks and museums to famous amphitheatres such as Red Rocks. Major and minor league baseball teams provide fun days and nights at ball parks, plus Denver has a professional soccer team for additional action.

Colorado Meetings that are Affordable and Fun

Hotels and resorts often have great rates during less-busy corporate and convention meeting timeframes, and in university towns when colleges move to the slower schedule of summer school. Our meeting options give your group plenty of opportunities to relax and engage in activities on-site or nearby.

There are lots of options when putting together a social gathering. For example, a guest ranch might be a perfect option, since all activities and meals can be included in the rate. Another affordable choice is a city/mountain combination with day trips or a few days in each place. Places like Denver, Boulder, Loveland and Colorado Springs all have great mountain access and lots of lodging choices.  

Fall also is a superb time for lower rates in the mountains when business starts tapering off on the weekdays as families head back into the school season. Indian summer temperatures and a fall foliage season that hits its peak in mid-September and runs into mid-October make autumn magnificent in the high country.
