HOUSING
This year we have a room block in place at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center, the same venue as the event, but our room block is officially SOLD OUT!
If you've snagged your spot, you'll be an elevator ride away from game-changing sessions, networking opportunities, and industry insights. If you missed out on the room block, don't worry! There are still plenty of great housing options in Denver.
Here's our list of recommendations:
- Hyatt Place Downtown Denver
- Le Meridien Downtown Denver
- Embassy Suites by Hilton: Denver Downtown - Convention Center
- Homewood Suites by Hilton: Denver Downtown - Convention Center
Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to rock #Catalyst23
