Lodging
Discounted rates have been secured for students at the Springhill Suites in Denver. This is where the workshop classroom is located and where the faculty and staff will be staying! We hope you’ll take advantage of this discount at the workshop hub! The rate is $202 a night but do keep in mind…You might find a cheaper rate but factor in drive time as well as being on site which is invaluable when it comes to networking and convenience!
