Transportation
Most major car rental companies and airlines operate out of Denver International Airport. From the airport, you may take a city taxi for about $50 one way, or an airport Super Shuttle for about $18 one way. Reservations are not required. You will find either form of transportation on Level 5 of the Denver International Airport.

Other Relevant Information
Denver is a wonderful place to visit, but the weather is unpredictable in March, which is often Denver’s snowiest month. We highly recommend you check the weather forecast prior to departing your home. The conference hotel is located in the heart of downtown Denver, with many restaurants, attractions, and entertainment within walking distance from both hotels. A useful website for Denver attractions and information is www.denver.org. In addition, www.9news.com is a local news station website. The Denver Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science both have special exhibits during this time, and the theaters always offer excellent shows.
