Denver, the “Mile High City,” is the gateway to the majestic Rockies.  Nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the city has more than 300 days of sunshine each year and is a leader in sustainable business initiatives.  As such, Denver serves as the perfect backdrop for the 2010 Marketing & Public Policy Conference. 

 

Denver offers a unique combination of urban sophistication and outdoor adventure, and the conference hotel (westin.com/taborcenter) sits in the heart of this blend in downtown Denver.  Adjacent to the 16th Street Mall, the hotel is in easy walking distance to great restaurants, unique shopping, and a variety of entertainment and sporting venues.  You can also jump on and off the free shuttle that runs along the 16th Street Mall and easily explore surrounding Denver neighborhoods.  To learn more about what to do in Denver, from sporting and cultural events, to unusual, “only in Colorado” activities, visit denver.org and colorado.com. 

 

With the conference theme of “Sustainability and Society,” it is relevant to note that Denver is a leader in stimulating and implementing sustainable business; you can see some of the ongoing Denver-based sustainability initiatives at greenprintdenver.org.  As the conference’s host university, Colorado State University is dubbed “the Green University” for its leadership in addressing a wide variety of environmental problems - see green.colostate.edu for more information about CSU’s sustainability-related initiatives.
