Hotel Information (scroll down for Hotel Reservation)

The Stanley Hotel, http://www.stanleyhotel.com, is a historic landmark hotel in a spectacular mountain-view location, offering old-world charm matched with the latest of modern amenities. Located at an elevation of 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) and within sight of the Rocky Mountain National Park, it was built in 1907-1909 by the inventor of the Stanley Steamer automobile (which is on display in the hotel lobby). It inspired Stephen King to write The Shining, and served as a location site for several movies (including Dumb and Dumber). It hosted many US presidents, royalties, and celebrities. We were able to obtain a very good deal for the rooms for workshop participants ($179 per room, per night). Many believe that the hotel is haunted (the most cases of ghostly activity were reported for the ballroom in which we will have our banquet dinner). The block of rooms for our conference includes room 217, which is believed to be the most haunted guest room (Stephen King got the idea for The Shining after staying in room 217).

Estes Park, http://www.estesparkcvb.com, an hour from Fort Collins or Boulder, and hour and a half from Denver International Airport, is one of the most beautiful resort towns in the US, with numerous galleries, shops, and restaurants, along with majestic nature and abundant wildlife.

Important Note Regarding Conference Registration: As you know, we are trying to include a lot of things in a very limited budget. This could be made possible only if done as a package, combining your getting (for free, if registered) meals during the conference, banquet, and shuttle transportation with your commitment to stay in the conference hotel, The Stanley Hotel. In other words, in the case of an insufficient number of rooms taken by conference attendees, we will have to pay penalty (attrition) to the hotel. If you decide not to stay in the conference hotel, your registration will not include meals during the conference, banquet, and shuttle transportation.
