Tips for Attendees
What to Wear:
Attire at the conference is business casual. Please wear comfortable shoes as you will probably do a lot of walking! Also bring a sweater as it can get chilly outside in the evenings. (In fact, bring a sweater for indoors too as it might be chilly in some of the meeting rooms.)
What to Bring:
Knowing that many of you already have a closet-full, we didn't order conference bags. If you need a tote, bring a favorite bag from a past conference. Don't forget your sunscreen, and don't discount the possibility of rain, [sleet, snow] or hail. Colorado weather can be very unpredictable in late spring.
Where to Eat:
Denver has great places to eat. Five on-site restaurants offer variety ranging from Colorado cuisine to English pub fare. Those wishing to venture out can use the light rail system to reach downtown Denver or other locations. The hotel provides a shuttle to and from the light rail, nearby restaurants and shopping areas.
