Frequently Asked Questions



What's the weather like in Denver?
In the summer, Denver enjoys low relative humidity, resulting in lots of sunny days and cool evenings. In August, the average daily high temperature is 86 degrees, with an average low of 57 degrees.

Is Denver’s altitude a factor?
Because the city is a mile high — exactly 5,280 feet above sea level — the sky is bluer, the air is thinner and drier, a golf ball travels 10 percent farther and there’s less protection from the sun’s rays. The Altitude Research Center at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine urges visitors to drink an extra 24 to 32 ounces of water each day and to use sunscreen.

What should I wear when attending Annual Meeting events?
The overall dress code for the Annual Meeting and Seminars is business casual, but other styles of attire are appropriate for special events during the meeting:

  • Business casual attire is appropriate for all seminars and events. Because the temperature in meeting rooms may vary, it's a good idea to wear layers when attending educational seminars.
  • Business casual or business attire is appropriate for the Conferment Ceremony.
  • Casual attire is suggested for the Final Night Celebration.

Can I bring guests to the Annual Meeting and Seminars?
Yes. Registered Annual Meeting attendees can bring family and friends to Denver as registered or nonregistered guests. If your guest(s) wish to attend any optional events at the Annual Meeting, be sure to order the appropriate number of additional tickets on the Annual Meeting registration form.

Can nonmembers register for the Annual Meeting and Seminars?
Yes, nonmembers can register for the Annual Meeting and Seminars. See registration information for details.

Who can attend the Conferment Ceremony?
The Conferment Ceremony is open to all registered and nonregistered Annual Meeting attendees. Feel free to bring your family and friends along to share in your celebration. There is no charge for attending the Conferment Ceremony.
