Your time in Colorado should be focused on learning and connection, not fretting over what to wear (or what you forgot at home). Here is some guidance:

• Attire: For all conference and networking events, business casual is recommended. Social events allow for a more personal flair – casual to dressy.  Pro Tip: When in doubt, choose comfort over fashion. Heels hurt after a long day. Also, layers! In May, the temperature in Colorado typically ranges from mild-to-warm in the day (65-75°F) and chilly and breezy at night (40-50° F). Be sure to check the weather forecast for Aurora before traveling so that you pack accordingly.
• Tech: Don’t forget your charger and adaptor. Charging stations will be available throughout Workhuman Central to keep you at 100%. If you prefer to keep it old school with a notepad and pen, more power to you!

Starting May 7, 2025, if your state-issued driver’s license or ID isn’t REAL ID compliant, it won’t be accepted as valid ID at airport security.

To make sure your travel goes off without a hitch, here’s what you need to know:

1. Check Your ID: Make sure your state-issued driver’s license or ID is REAL ID compliant. Look for a star at the top of your ID to confirm.
2. Alternative Forms of ID: If your ID is not REAL ID compliant, you will need to travel with an acceptable alternative form of ID, like a passport.
3. Enroll for REAL ID: If you do not have a REAL ID, you can enroll for one through your state DMV office.

For more information on acceptable forms of identification and how to obtain a REAL ID, please visit the TSA website: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

The Gaylord Rockies is located at 6700 North Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019 — just 8 miles (about 15 minutes) from Denver International Airport (DIA) and 20 miles (around 40 minutes) from downtown Denver.

Getting there is easy:

• Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) and taxis are available at DIA. Drop-offs and pick-ups should use the Tour Lobby entrance of the Gaylord Rockies (not the convention center entrance).
• Rental cars are available at the airport.
• Shuttles will run between the Gaylord Rockies and official overflow hotels booked through our reservation system. When it’s time to board, head just outside your hotel’s main entrance and look for the pink, blue, or green flag (Download shuttle map). Shuttles will pick you up at that location around these times.

The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center offers a safe, well-lit environment, with the premises regularly patrolled by security. As with any destination, when venturing off-site, visitors are encouraged to remain alert and aware of their surroundings, particularly when out late at night.

• Pickup Location: Just outside Workhuman Central, at the same spot where hotel shuttles have been operating throughout the event.
• Timing: Please allow at least 2 hours before your flight departure to ensure ample time for travel and check-in.
• Drop-off: All shuttles will arrive at a central drop-off point on the west side of the airport, where event staff will be on hand to guide you to your terminal.
