National Performing Arts Convention
Tourism Star Award Recipient — 2008
A total of 3,739 members of the performing arts community - representing 1,813 organizations across the globe - attended the 2008 National Performing Arts Convention in Denver. This prestigious event is held only once every four years, beckoning visitors from all 50 states and many international destinations. Mayor Hickenlooper attended the 2004 inaugural event in Pittsburgh, and was instrumental in helping Denver win the convention. For four days, Denver was the center of the nation’s performing arts community, with national leaders discussing issues such as education, creativity and the impact of new technologies. NPAC offered an important opportunity to elevate Denver’s image as a national center for performing arts.
