The Peak Event Center
2008 July 7
I’ve been wondering what the heck kind of event thing is going up on 15th and California, and now that I know I thought I’d share it with you:) Let your mind be at ease!
It’s The Peak, a Denver event center you can book. 20,000 square feet, holds 2000 people, put up for the DNC, but will be around after that. Also touted at one of the largest freestanding temporary tents ever built.
First event you should attend at the Peak?: Sixth annual Summer Toast, an event for business and marketing professionals on Thursday, July 31st. Event info here.
I saw this structure on a recent trip to Denver (8/18-20). As an industry professional, I have to take exception to the assertion that it is one of the “largest freestanding temporary tents ever built”. It’s not even the largest in Denver right now. There are much larger structures in the parking lot of the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field. Temporary tent installations for special events regularly range upwards of 100,000 square feet. This is actually a fairly small installation. And in terms of fit and finish it looks nothing like the CGI image above. There is no logo and the fabric is obviously very old and in terrible shape. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself or email me for pics.
