Travel and Lodging

You are responsible for your own airfare, hotel arrangements, and for arranging transportation to the training. The Hotel and Shuttle link will provide you with more detailed information about what is available during your stay in Fort Collins. If you stay at one of the hotels listed on that page, we will do our best to provide transportation to and from the receptions. For a fee, the Shamrock Shuttle or Greenride Shuttle can take you from the Denver International Airport to your hotel. If you decide to rent a car, directions will be provided from your accommodations to all the training and reception sites. 

Coffee and tea will be provided during the training. You will be responsible for your own breakfasts, lunches, and dinner on Friday night. A list of restaurants near the training site will be provided for your convenience.

 

We strongly encourage you to make your hotel reservation as soon as possible. The training weekend is busy for the hotels and room availability cannot be guaranteed after the reservation cut-off date.

 

NOTE: The training will end by noon on Sunday.  Please make your travels arrangements accordingly, especially if you will be taking the Shamrock Shuttle or GreenRide to the airport.  See the Hotel and Shuttle page for more information.
