Merit/NSFNET Regional Techs Meeting
You are invited to attend the Merit/NSFNET Regional Techs Meeting, to be held January 21 and 22, 1992 in Boulder, Colorado. US WEST is generously providing the conference facilities for us this time around. NACR and WestNet will be participating in hosting sessions, and activities. Thus, we will be meeting at US WEST's Advanced Technologies Conference Center located in the University of Colorado's Research Park at 4001 Discovery Drive (corner of Colorado and Foothills Parkway). Enclosed at the end of this note is the still tentative agenda. You will be receiving a final agenda down the road abit. To RSVP please send your confirmation to nsf-seminar@merit.edu. Upon receipt of your rsvp we will send you more detailed directions, as confirmation of attendance. However, please do not expect a reply to your rsvp before January 4th, due to holiday staffing. RSVP's should be received *before* Friday January 15th. The absolute last day for rsvp`ing this time around is Tuesday January 19th at 15:00 EST. This is a hard time frame due to US WEST's security requirement that we submit a list of attendess 48 hours before arrival. Please note that registration will take place between 9am and 9:45am on Thursday, with coffee, donuts, muffins, etc. being served during this time. Upon arrive at US WEST you will be asked to sign a security form stating that you agree not to wonder from the first floor of the center unless escorted by a US WEST employee. They will then issue you a yellow badge which must be turned in at the end of each day. On Friday morning please allow extra time for picking up your security badge again. For those not attending the sessions on Thursday morning you may register as you arrive. Allow extra time for this. Here are four suggestions for housing in the Boulder area. Clarion Harvest House 1-800-CLARION for reservations --------------------- Located at 1345 28th Street, Boulder Colorado. The cost of a single is $65, a double $75. This is the largest hotel in Boulder, with 16 acres of land. They provide a running track, in/outdoor pools, 5 indoor tennis courts, a pub and a restaurant. It is 1 block from the University of Colorado and about 4 blocks (via a nice bike path on Boulder Creek) from US WEST. We have blocked 40 rooms here. Golden Buff (Best Western) 1-800-999-2833 for reservations -------------------------- Located at 1725 28th Stree, Boulder, Colorado. The cost of a single room with a queen size bed is $48, a deluxe single room with a queen size bed is $55, a double room with queen size beds is $50 and a deluxe double room with QUEEN size beds is $55. The Golden Buff is 1/4 mile from the University of Colorado and about the same from US WEST. Residence Inn By Marriot 1-800-331-3131 for reservations ------------------------ Located at 3030 Center Green Drive, Boulder, Colorado. The cost of a single is $69. Suites are available and cost $79 which includes continental breakfast and a cocktail hour during the week. It is located 1 mile from the University of Colorado and about the same from US WEST. Hotel Boulderado 1-800-433-4344 for reservations ---------------- Located at 2115 13th Street, Boulder, Colorado. The cost for a standard room is $79, a deluxe room is $89 with a fee of $12 for a second person. This hotel is one of Boulders historic buildings and from what I hear quite impressive. It is 1 mile from the University of Colorado in the heart of the central downtown area. Unlike the influx of football fans that complicated our last meeting in Ann Arbor, Boulder has no "massive crowd" attracting special event taking place the week of our meeting. The airport is the Denver Stapleton International Airport which is about 35 miles from Boulder. There is a shuttle to and from the airport, called the Airporter (1-303-321-3222). The cost is $9.50 each way and runs every hour on the hour. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me by phone, fax, or email (nsf-seminar@merit.edu for a listening audience greater than one).
