We have reserved parking in the Vail Parking lot on the Anschutz Medical Campus.
From Colfax, turn North onto N Racine St. and then Right/East onto E 19th Ave. Turn Left/North at N Revere Ct. into the Vail parking lot. Please look for gold and black balloons at the entrance of the parking lot.
You can also drop off passengers at the entrance of the building. There are stairs and a ramp leading up to the building. Look for the gold and black balloons again. An attendant will be at the door to let you into the building and direct you into the conference room.
Several other events are happening on campus that day, so please allow time or arrive early to avoid needing to park farther away.
