ARRIVE BY Air

Denver International Airport (DEN)

Located about 25 miles northeast of downtown, Denver International Airport (DEN) is the primary airport serving the area. It is one of the busiest airports in the U.S., offering extensive domestic and international connections.

  • Train (Recommended): The A Line commuter rail connects DEN to downtown Denver’s Union Station in about 37 minutes. Trains depart every 15-30 minutes, and tickets cost $10.50 (valid for unlimited rides for 3 hours). Union Station is a central transit hub with easy access to hotels, restaurants, and the conference venue.

  • Taxi/Rideshare: Taxis, Uber, and Lyft are available curbside at DEN. The ride to downtown Denver typically takes 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares ranging from $50–$75. Look for signs to Ground Transportation on Level 5 of the terminal.

  • Shuttle & Private Car: Shared-ride shuttles and private car services are also available and can be pre-booked. These may be a good option for groups or those traveling with extra luggage.

ARRIVE BY Ground

Train

  • Amtrak: Denver is served by Amtrak’s California Zephyr, which runs between Chicago and San Francisco with breathtaking views of the Rockies. While it’s more scenic than speedy, it’s a unique option for those coming from major cities in the Midwest or West.

  • Commuter Rail: Denver’s Union Station also connects with RTD’s A Line commuter train to the airport, and local rail and bus services throughout the metro area.

Bus

  • Greyhound and Express Arrow: Provide service from cities including Colorado Springs, Albuquerque, and Salt Lake City.

  • Bustang: A state-run service with routes from Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Grand Junction, and other locations across Colorado. Buses arrive at Union Station or nearby Civic Center Station.
