The next Mars Society Convention will be in Boulder Colorado from Thursday August 15 through Sunday August 18. Thursday is usually just registration and some committee meetings, and one can usually leave Sunday afternoon without missing much. But Friday and Saturday are very full - from 9 AM to late in the night.
You can arrive in Boulder sometime on Thursday the 15th and leave sometime after lunch on Sunday the 18th, driving or flying into Denver.
The RTD Skyride bus goes from the Denver airport right to the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, which is where the Mars Society Convention is held. The standard fare is $13 each way, which is pretty reasonable. Rental cars and cabs are ridiculously expensive. In 2008 the Mars Society hotel rate was $103 per night including a good continental breakfast and Wi-fi. Half price if you share a room with someone else. The hotel was an easy walk to the University.
Boulder is a very pleasant small college town, similar to Lawrence, KS, or Middletown, CT.

I am actually now working and living in Boulder, CO. So I will be looking into attending this August. It really is a nice town. I look forward to meeting any NewMars forum members who are able to come!

Bump. I'm looking to go to the convention as well, and I'm wondering if anyone else plans to come. I look forward to seeing Bob and Midoshi there, will any other NewMartians be present?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it ... cost is an issue for me, as is my family situation (my wife will be 6 1/2 months pregnant at the time). I'd really like to though.
