Boulder has an excellent public transportation system, and you should be able to get anywhere around town on the local bus system. The Go Boulder website has Boulder bus route information here. Within town, bus fare is $2 each way, but many hotels are within walking distance of campus.
From the airport: There is a direct “skyride” public transportation bus (RTD) from the Denver International Airport to Boulder. The name of the route to Boulder is the AB and takes approximately 1-1.5 hours each way. The cost is $12 each way. A route map can be found here. Direct transportation to and from your hotel is also offered through the Super Shuttle service, which can be booked at DIA or in advance.
For those of you using online maps, a reference point for campus is the University Memorial Center (UMC) where the Friday workshops will be held. It is located at the corner of Euclid and Broadway. Address: University Memorial Center, 1669 Euclid Ave, Boulder CO 80309 (map here). Many bus lines have a stop across the street from the UMC.
