Bar & Restaurant Expo Denver is rolling into Denver, Colorado from October 26-28, 2025 in the Colorado Convention Center, and it's bringing top-notch education!
The Expo's conference program brings the energy of our Las Vegas flagship to a more focused stage—designed for real-world application and regional relevance. It’s built for professionals who want insights that span from the vibrant F&B ecosystems of Denver and the greater Mountain West to the emerging national trends shaping the future of hospitality.
Denver's Expo will also feature two owner/operator masterclasses on Sunday, October 26. These advanced workshops focus on professional skills development and career mapping, providing the tools to enhance your business acumen, technical expertise, and overall career trajectory. Attendees can choose between two masterclasses—or take both!
