There are no boring conferences in Denver
Check out these ideas for some Mile High City fun

Posted: 03/08/2022

Sales, training and communication guru Dale Carnegie said, “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.” At Accelerate, powered by NetVU, March 28-31, we’ve got fun covered.

And then some.

Did you know Denver averages 300 sunny days a year and that the high temperature at the end of March is typically in the 60s? Sounds divine, right? But the weather is just one of the reasons we chose this Colorado city for our first in-person event in the past several years — there’s plenty of other great reasons you’ll appreciate our 2022 conference.

Fun can be found indoors, outdoors, at the venue or just a short distance away. With so many entertainment options in or near the Mile High City, you won’t go wrong adding a few extra outings to your daily conference itinerary. You might even decide to arrive a few days early, stay a few days late ― or do both! Whatever you choose, Denver will exceed your expectations.

Not sure where to start? Here’s some highlights:

Gastronomic delights

• Must-try restaurants

The Denver Convention and Visitors Bureau provides plenty of additional ideas, so there’s sure to be something for you. At the bureau’s website, you’ll also find useful transportation information to help you get around town or to and from the airport.  

Even while you’re learning, you should never stop having fun ― and we’re confident that Accelerate in Denver will deliver on both accounts!
