Getting There
Two main airports serve Colorado Springs and the surrounding area:
- From Colorado Springs Airport (COS): Approximately a 15-minute drive to downtown Colorado Springs. Taxis, ride-shares, and rental cars are available.
- From Denver International Airport (DEN): Approximately a 1 hour and 15 minute to 1.5 hour drive to Colorado Springs, depending on traffic. Rental cars and shuttle services may be available. Public transportation options may require transfers and additional travel time.
Participants are encouraged to plan their transportation in advance, particularly if arriving at Denver International Airport.
Accommodations
No hotel room blocks have been arranged for WCNT 2026, and participants are responsible for arranging and paying for their own accommodations.
Here are a few hotel options in downtown Colorado Springs across different price ranges:
- Econo Lodge — A budget-friendly option.
- Hilton Garden Inn Colorado Springs Downtown — A mid-range option. Participants may wish to inquire directly about potential Colorado College rates.
- The Antlers Hotel — A higher-end option in downtown Colorado Springs.
These are just a few possibilities; numerous other accommodations are available at different price points. We encourage participants to explore the available options and book early.
Sharing Rooms
Sharing a hotel room with another conference participant can be a good way to reduce accommodation costs. If you are interested in sharing a room, we encourage you to connect with other participants to coordinate arrangements.
You may also contact the conference organizers at info@westcoastnumbertheory.org to express your interest in finding a roommate. We will do our best to connect interested participants, although we cannot guarantee a match.
