In December, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston joined hundreds of invitees and representatives of the City and County of Denver and community to celebrate completion of the Colorado Convention Center Expansion Project. Located on the roof of the existing building, the expansion of the Colorado Convention Center includes the new 80,000 square-foot Bluebird Ballroom that can be subdivided into 19 configurations of varying sizes. It’s now the largest multifunction ballroom in Colorado, able to host more than 7,500 attendees for a general session or 4,600 guests for a catered event.

The expansion also includes 35,000 square feet of wrap-around pre-function concourse space with floor to ceiling windows and a 20,000 square-foot outdoor rooftop terrace with dramatic views of the Rocky Mountains and Denver’s city skyline.
“This expansion is a perfect sign that Denver is open for business,” said Mayor Mike Johnston. “The Bluebird Ballroom creates a breathtaking space for people to visit our city and gather as a community to laugh, drink, learn, and play.”
Keeping pace with innovations and demand, new features of the expansion include technology improvements and seamless integration with the existing building, providing easy access to its 600,000 square feet of exhibit space, 150,000 square feet of meeting space and the 5,000 seat Bellco Theatre.
