Downtown Boulder
- A special rate of $84 per night has been arranged at the Best Western Plus Hotel within easy walking distance from the Wolf Law Building. It works better to call and mention "VIVO Implementation Fest" when booking to get the appropriate rate.
Other
- Make your plans to fly into Denver International Airport, about one hour south east of Boulder.
- Boulder Super Shuttle is available as well as a very reasonable and reliable Regional Transport District (RTD) public bus direct from Denver International Airport to Boulder.
- Other options including rental cars and public bus service. Please allow yourself 60 minutes drive time from DIA to Boulder. You can find parking and driving directions for the Wolf Law Building on the CU Boulder campus where the workshop is being held on this page. If you do opt for a rental car, please be aware that the the Northwest Parkway toll road, from DIA to the Boulder area, only offers a non-stop payment system. There are toll booths, so to avoid any penalty charges, please make appropriate arrangements with your rental car company as described here and here.
Parking permits are required for parking near the Law School and will be distributed to visitors onsite at the registration table at the Law School.
