COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Broadmoor hotel and resort is an idyllic setting for the 2023 Executive Briefing Conference, Sept. 26-28. Its picturesque location makes it a great place to mix business and pleasure.

Spencer Penrose, a wealthy mining magnate, opened the Broadmoor on June 29, 1918. Ever since it has been a popular destination for celebrities beginning with Charlie Chaplain in the 1920s and followed by the likes of Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s, The Beatles in the 1960s, Elvis Presley in the 1970s, and more recently Tiger Woods and Jennifer Lopez.

In addition to hosting the EBC in 2019 and 2022, the Broadmoor hosted the first Trans-Mississippi and International Air Race in 1925, the Winter Olympics in 1932, and the Democratic National Convention in 1984 to name a few. The Broadmoor was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000. In 2011, the resort underwent a $500 million renovation.
