What a fantastic afternoon at State of the Springs 2026!
We were proud to bring together so many leaders from across the Colorado Springs hospitality community for an engaging and insightful program focused on where we’ve been - and where we’re headed.
A sincere thank you to our speakers for sharing their expertise and perspective:
• Doug Price – for his insights on tourism growth and the continued momentum of Colorado Springs as a premier destination
• Joe Hollmann – for reflecting on the 10-year impact of Olympic City USA and what it means for our city
• Matthew Schniper – for highlighting the evolution of our local culinary scene
We are especially grateful to Doug Price for his years of leadership and dedication to our industry. His impact on this community is truly lasting, and he will be greatly missed.
Thank you to our sponsors for helping make this event possible:
• The Mining Exchange – for hosting us and providing exceptional hospitality and food
• Event Rents – for the linens that helped create such a polished and welcoming atmosphere
A special thank you to Eric Sprinkle with Adventure Experience for capturing the energy and moments of the day so beautifully through his photography.
And thank you to everyone who joined us - we’re lucky to be part of such a strong, connected, and forward-thinking hospitality community.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
