To estimate your conference and travel costs, not including airfare, we have included the hotel rates, ground transportation costs and the registration fees, listed below.
(Note on increased conference fees: for the first time in a number of years, our pricing has increased due to our higher costs. We have tried to keep these increases reasonable, and, in fact, these increases only offset a part of the increased costs. Please contact us if you have any feedback or concerns.)
Lyft/Uber: estimated fare one-way from DIA to Hilton: $65.
Light Rail: estimated fare one-way from DIA to Union Station Downtown Denver: $10.50
(You can then take the MallRide from Union Station to California Street, next to the hotel).
Yellow Cab: call for rates (advance reservation recommended): 303-777-7777.
Hilton Denver City Center rate: $194 for per night single or double. (includes free room wifi)*
Included Meals: Wednesday evening hors d’oeuvres.
(The Tuesday night keynote dinner is included ONLY for those who purchase the ‘package’ option. Otherwise it is a $50 add-on).
Internet Access (in room): included in Hilton rate.*
*Important!: you must book directly with the hotel for the AHG block to receive the conference rate and waiver of room Internet fees. If you book through an online booking service such as Orbitz, Travelocity, etc., you will not receive the free in-room Internet service.
