Getting from the Denver International Airport to the conference hotel or to the dormitories: The fastest option is to take a cab, which will cost you about $50. You can also take a shared cab, for instance the Super Shuttle. The shared cab will take several passengers at once. It will easily take twice as long as a cab to get to your destination. One-way ride from the airport to the conference hotel costs $19. One way ride from the airport to the dormitories costs about $23. You can either book your ride ahead of time at the above web page, or you can purchase a ride at one of the many kiosks of Super Shuttle inside the main terminal of the airport. There are other shuttle companies located inside the terminal, too. Public transportation can be another option, depending on the time of your arrival. You can plan your ride at the RTD-Denver website. Here are several examples of a recommended route from the airport to the dormitories. You can buy a transfer ticket from the bus driver. It should cost you less than $5. If you need special accommodations or if you arrive with a group of participants at the same time, we can pick you up at the airport - let us know. Getting your dorm key: Once you arrive to the dormitory building, proceed to the common (low rise) area between the two towers. The entry door is secured - use the phone just to the right of the entrance and give them your name and the name of the conference. Once you enter the lobby you can get your room keys at the desk. The desk is staffed 24/7. Note: You can pick up the keys even before registering with us at the registration desk in Lindsay Hall.
