The information below presents our original plans for the conference.

Golden is an idyllic former gold rush town with a trendy yet peaceful downtown full of restaurants, cafes, and breweries. Nestled between North and South Table Mountains and the spectacular foothills of the Rocky Mountains, it is home to world-class hiking and only a short drive to world-class skiing, made all the more pleasant by Colorado’s famous 300 days of sunshine per year. What is more,

Golden is only a short train ride from the bustling metropolis of Denver, Colorado, which is itself home to a host of artistic, historical, cultural experiences, and, crucially, a major international airport. The Denver-Boulder-Golden area is also home to a bustling tech scene, with Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Uber, Oracle, Lockheed Martin, IBM, and VMWare offices, as well as robotics startups like Sphero and Misty Robotics.
