CCA’s 2026 Annual Convention registration is now open
DENVER — Registration is open for Colorado Cattlemen’s Association’s 2026 Annual Convention, which will be held on June 22-24, 2026, at the Embassy Suites Loveland Conference Center in Loveland, Colo. We are eagerly anticipating our annual three-day event, filled with association business, education, critical updates, networking and more on the East Slope.
The convention starts on Monday, when members participate in CCA committee meetings that focus on discussing policies that will shape the future of Colorado. Don’t forget to engage with your committees, attend agenda-setting calls, and submit any committee resolutions to the CCA office. Lunch on Monday will include the presentation of the Colorado Leopold Conservation Award, and to conclude our first day, we will host attendees and sponsors at our Welcome Reception in the trade show.
Before Tuesday’s programming begins, we will hold a “Grab and Stay” networking breakfast in the trade show. After breakfast, programming begins with the 9th Annual Ranching Legacy Symposium, covering industry updates and current issues from CCA’s state and federal partners. Following the morning’s symposium, attendees will be served lunch in the trade show. This is another great way to continue to connect with exhibitors and say thank you to our sponsors. During the afternoon session, members are invited to travel to Colorado State University’s new livestock hospital for a panel discussion with CSU College of Agriculture leadership and tours of the new space. Back at the hotel, the trade show will remain open for attendees as we head into our “Under the Big Top” reception. The evening will conclude with our “Big Top Bash” banquet, featuring award presentations, leadership recognition, and live music. This night will be full of great food, socializing, and plenty of fun activities for the whole family. You won’t want to miss it.
Wednesday, the final day of the event, will begin with the CCA Beef and Business breakfast, which includes updates from association local affiliates and affiliated organizations, such as the Junior Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, Colorado CattleWomen, Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust, and Colorado Beef Council. CCA’s business session will be conducted after breakfast.
The convention will conclude with a Colorado gubernatorial candidate forum, where candidates for Colorado’s governor will be invited to address CCA members and attendees and share their perspectives on issues important to Colorado agriculture. The forum will provide cattle producers and industry stakeholders the opportunity to hear directly from candidates about their priorities and policy approaches affecting agriculture.
