DENVER, Colo. - Registration is now open for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association’s (CCA) 2026 Mid-Winter Conference, which will be held on December 14-15, 2026, at the Denver Marriott West Hotel in Golden, CO.
This year’s Mid-Winter Conference will feature a new schedule, beginning Monday, December 14th, with opportunities for members to connect and engage before the main conference programming begins. The Colorado CattleWomen (CCW) will hold their general membership meeting at 8:00 a.m., and CCA will host an optional educational session, “Strategies for Marketing Your Cattle,” at 11:00 a.m. The session is geared toward young producers and anyone interested in growing their operation through marketing; all are welcome.
On Monday afternoon, the conference will officially kick off with a Welcome Reception, providing a space for members to connect before the first round of steering committee meetings. Attendees are then invited to participate in a Leadership & Membership Table Talk, an open conversation with CCA’s leadership, before the evening continues with our 1867 Reception. Monday will conclude with CCA’s annual 1867 Banquet, where we will recognize this year’s award recipients and Colorado Cattlemen’s Foundation Endowment Trust honorees. The day will offer many opportunities to network, catch up, and create new connections.
Tuesday, December 15th, will begin with coffee and pastries before attendees continue with CCA’s remaining steering committee meetings. Each committee meeting will focus on relevant topics and provide meaningful discussion around issues affecting Colorado’s beef industry every day. The conference will conclude with lunch and recognition of several award recipients, followed by CCA’s business meeting. Members will conduct association business, including grassroots policy development. CCA’s Board of Directors will meet following this year’s conference to discuss outcomes from the meeting and continue work on the association’s priorities for the coming year.
