What To Wear:
Casual business attire is acceptable for most events; please dress comfortably. In July, average temperatures in Denver are around 85°F during the day and 65°F during the evening. Business attire is requested for the James Bryant Conant Award banquet on Thursday evening. Also, because meeting room temperatures and personal comfort zones vary widely, we recommend you bring a sweater or jacket to meeting sessions and outdoor functions.
Transportation:
Denver International Airport
Denver International Airport (DEN) combines safety, security, efficiency and beauty in providing a seamless experience for travelers. As the largest airport in the United States, DEN was designed to grow along with the aviation industry. DEN recently opened its sixth runway. At 16,000 feet (nearly 5,000 meters), this runway is the longest in North America.
Consistently rated as one of least-delayed airports in the nation, DEN's airfield design allows for quick turnarounds and efficient aircraft flow. These operational efficiencies translate into on-time arrivals and departures for passengers.
The major airlines that service the airport are:
Air Canada, AirTran, Alaska, America West, American, ATA, British Airways, Continental, Delta, Frontier, Great Lakes, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Mexicana, Midwest, Northwest, Sun Country, United and US Airways.
