Agenda



Old Main/Campus

The University of Colorado-Boulder will host the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Association of Real Estate Officials in Boulder, Colorado on August 10 - 13, 2003.

Meet with over 100 of your colleagues as they discuss today's "hot topics" among the real estate issues facing universities and colleges. Use this conference as an opportunity to extend your stay in scenic Colorado and take advantage of the many summer recreation and tourism activities that await you in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Host: University of Colorado-Boulder

Location: The conference will be held at the Millennium Hotel, only two blocks from the University of Colorado and close to many of the amenities offered by the City of Boulder.

Boulder is nestled at the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains and is located 35 miles northwest of downtown Denver, 45 minutes from Denver International Airport, and only 45 minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park and two hours from Vail, Breckenridge, and other high country resort areas.

A captivating mountain community enriched with natural beauty and diverse cultural delights, Boulder has a dynamic economy, an award winning University, and a vibrant love of the outdoors. Populated by approximately 94,673 residents, including 28,000 students, Boulder is the eighth largest city in the state with an elevation of 5,430 feet above sea level.

Boulder is renowned for its natural beauty, lively nightlife, and healthy lifestyle. Spanning approximately 27 square miles, Boulder is commonly referred to as the little town nestled between the mountains and reality, a saying originating from the quality of life enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.

Boulder was recently rated the "#1 Sports Town in America" by Outside Magazine, offering countless year-round recreational activities. Take advantage of 200 miles of public hiking and biking trails, approximately 30,000 acres of open space or the 16-mile Boulder Creek Path, which runs through the middle of town.

Boulder has more than 30 art galleries, 4 local museums, 32 movie & stage theaters and many festivals, including the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Colorado Music Festival and Colorado Dance Festival.

There are many diverse dining opportunities including more than 300 restaurants featuring local, regional and international cuisine.
