It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 40th NASBR in Denver, Colorado. Denver is the capital city of Colorado and lies on the plains about 30 miles east of the Front Range of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The dynamic nature of Denver can be experienced by visiting its museums, botanical gardens, zoo, recreational parks, and thriving Lodo historical district housing the famous Tattered Cover bookstore or the downtown 16th Street Mall, all accessible by light-rail. The city also has professional sports teams for football (Broncos), baseball (Rockies), hockey (Avalanche) and basketball (Nuggets) any or all of which may be active locally during the conference. Of course, the mountains provide the real regional adventure and beauty and thus you may want to plan some extra time to experience areas such as the myriad National Forests, Rocky Mountain National Park, or perhaps Aspen with the world-famous Maroon Bells or simply drive the various scenic byways that pass through some of the most gorgeous scenery in the world.
We are seeking to make this our greenest NASBR meeting by reducing waste and redundancy resulting in lower registration costs and a more ecofriendly venue.
