The host hotels are located adjacent to each other so no matter which hotel you choose to stay at you will be able to mingle with other convention attendees easily.

The hotels are the Best Western Boulder Inn and The Boulder Outlook. They have very distinct personalities and both are very accommodating. More importantly, you can't beat the rates for Boulder in August! Our Convention is in "Boulder Prime Time" so it is recommended that you book a room as early as possible.
