Can my spouse come to the conference with me?

Yes. Discount rates are available for spouses of full-paying registrants. A spouse may attend all of the classroom sessions and observe the small group sessions. Spouses do not give speeches or participate in the small group process. The cost for a spouse (including food) is $599.

Will my spouse and I have any free time and what is there to do?

Our workshop schedule is very full. Unfortunately, there is very little free time. Meals and some of the afternoon on the third day are about all the free time there is.

Do I have to stay on-site?

We strongly recommend you stay on site. The Park Hyatt has given us an excellent rate of $139 per night. Our workshop schedule is very full and it will be difficult for you to fully participate and stay off-site.

If I need to arrive early to the conference, can I stay the night before at the facility?

This is completely dependent upon the hotel's availability. Once you register, you will make your own reservations through a website set up specifically for SCORRE Conference attendees. The conference room rate will be available for several days before and after the conference in the instance you decide to come early or stay late.

How far is the airport from the facility?

Denver International Airport is approximately 105 miles from the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek. The drive will take approximately 2.5 hours depending on traffic.

What are the directions to the facility?

Directions are provided with your registration confirmation.

What time should I book my flight to arrive at the airport?

We suggest you book your flights to arrive by 1 pm. Registration begins at 3 pm and dinner will be served at 5 pm.

What are the Shuttle options?

While we don't have an organized group shuttle planned, there is a shuttle service you can utilize. Please contact Colorado Mountain Express at 800-525-6363 and tell them you are attending a conference at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa.

When should I book my flight to depart?

We suggest that you book your flight from Denver International Airport to depart after 4:00pm.

What if I can't make it to the conference until the first morning?

While we encourage you to do everything you possibly can to be with us for the beginning of the conference, we understand that sometimes life gets in the way. Generally you can miss the first evening and still be able to catch up. But if you miss the first morning classroom sessions, you will likely be lost the rest of the week. We would rather have you attend a future conference.

What happens if I end up having to cancel because of an unexpected scheduling conflict?

Cancellations occurring before 1 month prior to the workshop will have the option of transferring their registration to the next workshop or a refund of amounts paid minus a $300 non-refundable fee. No refunds will be given within one month of the workshop.
