Get ready and mark your calendars because the FDCC is going back to The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO.
The 2023 Annual Meeting will be held on July 23 – 28, 2023. Come join us at an amazing location and with
an equally amazing program. We chose activities that everyone will enjoy while highlighting the beautiful and exciting surroundings. As our program theme states, all this comes together to help you “Be More at the Broadmoor.”
In the shadow of Pikes Peak, The Broadmoor has stood as the gem of the Rockies for over 100 years. For sixty- five years the Broadmoor has had the distinction of being the longest consecutive winner of AAA’s Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide Five Star Awards. With a world class Spa and Golf as well a beautiful infinity pool, there will be something for all. New to the Broadmoor are the professional pickle ball courts. New to the FDCC will be the first annual Pickle ball tournament.
The Cheyenne Mountain is a triple-peaked mountain range located southwest of downtown Colorado Springs that surrounds The Broadmoor Hotel. It provides endless attractions and must-see sights.
If you enjoy the outdoors, taking on adventures, or seeking out excitement, then The Broadmoor will not disappoint.
• Surround yourself in the lush Colorado Springs environment that has endless opportunities for exploring.
• Fill your afternoons with peaceful fly fishing in slow flowing creeks and streams.
• Embark on a relaxing horseback ride along the mountainous terrain.
• Go ziplining and see the beautiful land and water from a different perspective.
• Or hike trails and take in the stunning sights that are all around you!
Whatever you decide we are sure you will enjoy yourself and make unforgettable memories!
This year’s meeting will also focus on the family. We cannot wait for our FDCC kids to enjoy the property.
Be on the lookout for the brochure as you will see tips and trivia from Junior Convention Chairs, Brennan and Hadley Stansbury.
