This is a nice convention center and quite large. It has decent amenities. One of the big draws other than you are probably there for a conference is the big blue bear.

Great American Beer Festival was a success. Good job to the workers making it easy to get in, know where to go, and keeping the place clean. Tasting was spread out in various areas, so nothing got way too busy. For 4 hours, $95 to get tiny samples was more about the event and being with friends than the beer itself. All of the beef and spirit vendors were gracious, shared info on their beverages, and made it easy to get samples. I do wish there were more food options there. Some folks were smart and brought homemade necklaces of pretzels, candy, and snacks to munch on. Just not enough food vendors and they were on the edges of the room. Some seriously ignorant and belligerent people there, since sampling quantity isn't monitored much. I get that people want to get their value for the money they spent to get in, but I witnessed guys threatening workers on the way out just to instigate a problem. The workers handled it well, though.

Big, open, airy, plenty of restrooms and kept clean. Parking garages are nearby or there’s metered street parking. Pretty neat place to spend an afternoon depending on what festival or event they’re having! Like the outside art work and sitting spaces.

What can I say? It’s a great conference center. I came here for the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference, and the space handled a huge crowd without feeling too cramped or chaotic. The layout is easy to navigate, with plenty of room for talks, exhibits, and all the side conversations that make these events special. Parking isn’t perfect.. like most big venues - but it’s decent and gets the job done. Once you’re inside, everything is clean, organized, and set up to bring people together. Overall, it’s a solid place to host a large conference and create a sense of community. Five stars from me.

I attended a conference at the center. The building is impressive in size and design. However, it lacks simple amenities to make it a welcoming space. There was not enough seating in the common areas outside of the conference rooms. Food options within the area were also inadequate. The concessions available ran out of food on a daily basis. Initially, there were not enough staff to provide information. However, that improved in the latter days of the conference. For such an impressive venue, more efforts could be made to make the space more welcoming.

Every experience is different depending on the event. I've been here a couple times for the Denver Fan Expo and had a great time each time. Crowded but tolerable. The staff were helpful with information on where to go and help find things. They kept the bathrooms decently clean. Overall chill experience!
