We have reserved parking in the Vail Parking lot on the Anschutz Medical Campus. You can find a labeled parking map here.

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.
