Conference Center Report
Tom Pickering, Marketing Director of the Estes Park Conference

on future bookings. Other communities in Colorado are pursuing the
possibility of building conference centers. This may increase
competition; however, Estes Park, as a destination, will continue
to attract many conferences.
