Delivering Solutions23: AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo 2023 | American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living | 1 October 2023 | Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St, Denver, CO 80202, USA

This is one of the most practical meeting facilities ever built. And one of the most beautiful. From the extensive public art program to the spectacular views of Denver and the Rocky Mountains, the CCC provides five-star service and modern amenities... all in a central location.

Things to Do
Denver has one of the most walkable downtowns in the nation. But you can save on shoe leather by riding the free shuttle bus on the 16th Street Mall – it makes everything in downtown easy to reach and stops at every corner. Renowned architect I.M. Pei designed the gray and pink granite pathway to resemble the pattern of a diamondback rattlesnake. This area is home to some of the most popular places to visit in Denver, like Denver Union Station and the LoDo Historic District. You can easily spend a full day sightseeing at these downtown Denver attractions. After dark, horse-drawn carriages clatter up and down the mall.
