CCC wins Best Food & Beverage from Convene
News
At the Colorado Convention Center (CCC), food and beverage isn’t just about what tastes good — rather, it reflects a commitment to the environment and the local community.
“I have always felt Denver was ahead of its time in environmental issues,” said Debbie Richardt, CMP, who held her annual meeting at CCC in 2011 when she worked for the American Thoracic Society. “This is [an] area that makes them stand out and be recognized by meeting planners that take these issues seriously.”
CCC’s hospitality partner Centerplate started the Blue Bear Farm, a 5,000-square-foot urban farm that supplies the center’s kitchen with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey. “They are setting a good example of providing healthy foods and helping the environment at the same time,”
Richardt said, “and at no additional cost to the meeting planner.”
