2024 Official Hotels

A Workshop Rate of $199 per night can be booked for the nights of Saturday, 29 March through Thursday, 3 April 2025 (government per diem rate starting 1 April 2025 is $215).

RESERVATIONS FOR THE WESTIN ARE OPEN! Book your room at the $199 rate now through the booking link below.

There are very few hotels in the area and no hotels within walking distance to the Westin, so all participants are encouraged to book their room at the official Training Workshop hotel.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INSTRUCTIONS – PLEASE READ:

  • All Attendees, Sponsors, and Speakers are encouraged to book their hotel reservation early, but everyone MUST have a Registration record created by 14 March (paid or a registration fee balance due) or your room reservation may be CANCELLED.
  • If you get a message on the Westin booking site that the hotel is sold out, it means ONE of the nights you are requesting is sold out (not the entire hotel). Please email Karen Allison with the room nights you are trying to book, so she can contact the Westin to add additional nights to the block and you can complete your room reservation.
  • All rooms must be booked directly using the Westin online booking link above to take advantage of the negotiated Workshop rate. DO NOT book a room directly through the hotel’s website, call the Westin to book, or book through third-party booking sites, or we cannot guarantee the Workshop rate or reservation.
  • Please only book the room nights you will need. There is a 72-hour cancellation prior to arrival policy this year to receive a full refund for any room nights cancelled. FPD counts on all the reservations made to fulfill the hotel room block so they do not have to pay attrition fees.
  • If you require room nights outside of the room block dates of 29 March – 4 April 2025, please email Karen Allison at Event Performance Group. We will try to accommodate your request at the negotiated rate, but we cannot guarantee the Workshop rate.

Transportation & Parking

There is no shuttle service from the Denver International Airport to the Westin hotel, so we suggest taking a ride share (Uber, etc.) or taxi (it’s approximately 35 minutes to the hotel). 

There is ample parking at the Westin and it is free for all Training Workshop participants from March 29 – April 4, 2025.
