Pearl Street Mall
Boulder's pedestrian mall, full of local shops, restaurants, breweries, and street performers. The obvious place to end up on the Friday evening.
Boulder, Colorado. Under the Flatirons.
The conference is held at Limelight Boulder, a few minutes from downtown on one side and the CU campus on the other.
Boulder's newest conference hotel.
Limelight Boulder opened in 2025 on the corner of University Avenue and Broadway. It gives the conference proper event spaces, Flatiron views from the upper floors, and a terrace that the day finishes on.
Everything happens in one building. Sessions, workshops, lunch, and the closing happy hour all sit within a short walk of each other, which is the point: the conversations that start in a session should be easy to continue.
-
Event spaces
Rooms for the full-room sessions and separate spaces for the two tracks to run alongside each other.
-
Flatiron views
The reason people stop mid-sentence and look out of the window. Worth arriving early for.
-
The terrace
An open-air setting overlooking the Flatirons as the evening light changes.
-
Downtown and campus
Steps from the University of Colorado campus, and a short walk or ride from downtown Boulder.
Getting here.
Boulder sits about 30 miles northwest of Denver. Flying, taking transit, or driving all work, and none of them are difficult.
