As we mentioned last week, we will be looking at cities nation-wide that are great options for hosting events for the government audience. We picked locations with a high concentration of federal employees in reasonable travel proximity. Today, we highlight Colorado Springs, CO.
Colorado Springs has approximately 55,000 federal workers in the immediate metro area working at military installations including Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base and Schriever Air Force Base, and U.S. Northern Command as well as large numbers of employees working for the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Geological Survey and federal prison system. The city is a reasonable travel distance from Denver as well as a number of major western/central cities.
