THE BROADMOOR, COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. broadmoor.com Mixing modern-day delicacies with the culinary traditions of the American West, The Broadmoor offers unique cuisine that spans the gamut. “I’ve held meetings at The Broadmoor over the years,” said Steve Kinsley, president of Kinsley Meetings, “and they have every- thing from the very casual to the very elegant, and they do it all very well.” In addition to premier event-based F&B, attendees can enjoy pub fare and live music at The Tavern, locally sourced produce at Charles Court, or fine dining at Penrose Room, the only Forbes Five- Star and AAA Five-Diamond restaurant in Colorado. The Tavern also offers “Dine at Dusk,” a delicious pre-fixe menu served with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains.

VANCOUVER CONVENTION CENTRE vancouverconventioncentre.com Going against the grain in mouth- watering ways is the norm for the Vancouver Convention Centre, where Executive Chef Blair Rasmussen offers a unique combination of Asian influ- ences and innovative food pairings, all made with the freshest of local ingredients, from seafood to produce — creating, as Rasmussen describes it, food for the “mind, body, and soul.” “We were there two years ago for our Annual Convention and the food that we had was just so good, it wasn’t your norm meal from a convention center,” said Jacqueline Barnes, associate director of the American Association for Justice. “The staff was very accommodating and helped us with our menu selections.”
