Local information

Lectures and minisymposia will be in the Clark building at Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, CO.

• Travel: Participants will find it most convenient to fly into Denver (DEN), a hub for both United and Frontier, and take a SuperShuttle van to their hotels. Van reservations are strongly recommended and may be made here.

• Hotels: Room blocks are being arranged on campus (in dormitories, with air conditioning, in-house dining, and various other amenities), the Fort Collins Hilton, and the Best Western University Inn. The on-campus housing option is about a five minute walk to the Clark building while the hotels are each 10-15 minutes away. Please DO NOT make reservations yet as there will be a special block with lower rates finalized very soon.

• Food: There are numerous dining options around campus, particularly across Shields on Elizabeth, along College between Prospect and Laurel, and 15-20 minutes north of the conference venue, in

Old Town. The student union, adjacent to the venue, will likely be closed for renovation at the time of the conference. More details will be posted later.

• Before and after the conference: Conference participants may want to consider planning for a few extra days in the region as the Colorado Rockies are a common vacation spot for families. Destinations other than Fort Collins/Loveland include Aspen, Vail, Estes Park, Colorado Springs, and many others. Further details and options will be posted soon.
