Colorado Springs has complicated relationship with marijuana, but it's welcoming hemp in a big way
since it started over eight years ago, won't be so northern anymore.the BroadmoorThe first NoCo Hemp Expo took place in 2014 at the Ranch Events Complex in Loveland before eventually moving on to various arenas in Aurora and Denver, including the Crowne Plaza Denver, Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center and National Western Complex.
The Crowne Plaza is also fully scheduled for spring 2023, Beegle says, and the National Western Complex — home to the expo in 2021 after a pause in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic — is currently undergoing construction and renovations. The Colorado Convention Center, another potential host considered by Beegle, is too full in late March, when he'd prefer to hold the event.
"We wanted it all under one roof, and really couldn't find anything in the Denver area that checked all of the boxes," Beegle says."The Gaylord was great and easy to work with, but when we looked at 2023 and 2024, the only dates available there were going into Easter weekend, and we didn't want to ask people to travel that weekend."
"They don't want a marijuana event there, but they do believe in the environmental benefits of hemp. My understanding after meeting with the Broadmoor is that Colorado Springs is trying to become a little more progressive," he says.
