Posted by on July 2, 2026

MAXX 2026 will be here before you know it so now’s the perfect time to start planning your trip to the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Denver, where this year’s sessions, events, and experiences will come to life in October.

Getting There

The Gaylord Rockies is conveniently located just 12 minutes from Denver International Airport, making arrival simple and stress-free. Whether you choose a rental car, rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, or a taxi, you’ll be on-site and ready to dive into MAXX in no time.

Settle In and Explore

Once you arrive, the Gaylord Rockies offers more than just a place to stay — it’s part of the MAXX experience. From the moment you step inside, you’ll find a wide range of dining options, activities, and amenities to enjoy between sessions, Marketplace visits, and networking with colleagues and friends.

To make the most of your stay, download the Gaylord Hotels Resort App — your go-to resource for navigating the property, making dining reservations, booking activities, securing spa appointments, and more. It’s your all-in-one guide to everything happening on-site. The app is available for download on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Dining

Your MAXX badge includes several breakfasts and lunches throughout the week, and we hope you’ll join us for signature events like the CU4Kids Benefit Auction on Thursday and the GoWest Awards Dinner & Gala on Friday. When you have time to explore on your own, the Gaylord Rockies features nine unique restaurants, bars, and cafés offering something for every taste.

Relax, Recharge, and Have Fun

After a full day of learning and connecting, take time to unwind or recharge with the resort’s extensive amenities. Make a splash at the indoor/outdoor Arapahoe Springs Water Park, relax at the Relâche Spa, or stay active in the fitness center or Topgolf Swing Suite. You’ll also find outdoor fun on the expansive Grand Lodge Games Lawn and putting green.

Your stay also includes perks like complimentary bike rentals, daily fitness classes, access to basketball, tennis, and pickle ball courts, a daily dry-cleaning credit, and enhanced in-room Wi-Fi as part of the Gaylord Rockies resort fee.

MAXX is more than a conference — it’s an experience. From meaningful learning to memorable moments, it’s your chance to connect with the Credit Union Movement while enjoying everything this incredible destination has to offer.
