Our conference will take place in the heart of downtown Grand Junction at the convention center. This modern, walkable venue is also surrounded by local restaurants, shops, and cultural attractions. Whether you’re exploring the nearby Colorado National Monument or enjoying a stroll along Main Street, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues and experience everything this unique destination has to offer.
Hotel blocks
Stay within walking distance at one of four downtown hotel blocks: Tru by Hilton, Springhill Suites, Hampton Inn, or Fairfield Inn & Suites.
Or experience our newest hotel partner, Hotel Maverick, a boutique hotel on the Colorado Mesa University campus just six minutes from the conference.
Experience Western Colorado
Explore the Grand Valley
Make the most of your time in Grand Junction by experiencing a little more of what makes Western Colorado so special on Wednesday, September 29.
Our optional conference excursions are designed to give attendees a taste of the Grand Valley beyond the meeting room, from local food and wine to outdoor adventure, entrepreneurship, history, and golf. Each experience offers a chance to connect with fellow chamber professionals while exploring the people, places, and industries that shape our region.
Space is limited for many excursions, so we encourage attendees to register early and choose the experience that sounds most like their kind of Western Colorado.
