    Arrival airports

    Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.

    DEN

    Denver International

    to venue

    by car

    Hotel tiers

    A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

    Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown

    midscale
    Downtown Denverwalkable, roughly 5-15 minutes on foot depending on block to venue

    Practical base for RMDC: downtown grid location, free cancellation options and straightforward access to the convention center on foot or via the 16th Street MallRide. Rates are approximate for the January 2027 show window and exclude taxes and incidentals - confirm with the hotel.

    Staybridge Suites Denver-Cherry Creek by IHG

    midscale / extended stay
    Cherry Creekabout 10 minutes by rideshare or car to venue

    Suite-style rooms with kitchen facilities, useful for multi-night stays or small exhibiting teams. Cherry Creek is a shopping and dining district rather than a walking-distance base - budget for daily rideshare or parking.

    Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Denver East Hotel

    midscale
    Denver East15-25 minutes by car or rideshare to venue

    Value option east of downtown; there is no direct rail link to the convention center, so confirm parking or shuttle arrangements and factor daily transfer time into your schedule.

    Holiday Inn Express & Suites Denver Airport by IHG

    midscale
    DEN airport corridorabout 35-45 minutes by A Line plus light rail transfer, or 35-50 minutes by road to venue

    Best suited to exhibitors with early freight or departure times rather than daily show attendance; the A Line reaches Union Station in roughly 37 minutes. Confirm shuttle and parking terms with the property.

    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    commuter rail (RTD A Line)

    Estimated costApprox. USD 10.50 one way airport fare; confirm current RTD pricing
    Best forDenver International (DEN) to Denver Union Station

    A Line trains run roughly every 15-30 minutes and take about 37 minutes to Union Station. From Union Station, transfer to RTD light rail for two stops to Theatre District-Convention Center station, or walk 20-25 minutes to the Colorado Convention Center.

    taxi / rideshare

    Estimated costApprox. USD 45-75 rideshare; flat-rate taxi typically around USD 55-70 - confirm with the operator
    Best forDenver International (DEN) to Colorado Convention Center

    Roughly 40 km (25 mi). Expect 35-45 minutes off-peak and 50-70 minutes in rush hour or snow. Follow airport signage to the designated rideshare pick-up level rather than hailing curbside.

    walk / RTD light rail / MallRide shuttle

    Estimated costFree on foot; free 16th Street MallRide; approx. USD 3 for a short RTD light rail hop - confirm current fares
    Best forDowntown Denver hotels to Colorado Convention Center

    Most downtown hotels between 14th and 18th Streets are a 5-20 minute walk from the hall. The free MallRide runs along 16th Street and connects the hotel district to the convention center area; Theatre District-Convention Center station is the closest light rail stop.

    parking (private vehicle or rental car)

    Estimated costApprox. USD 20-40 per day in downtown event garages; venue garage rates vary by show - confirm on arrival
    Best forColorado Convention Center and surrounding downtown garages

    The convention center has an attached garage, and several commercial garages serve the 14th and 15th Street blocks. Downtown traffic and one-way streets add time; for most attendees rail plus walking is simpler than driving.

    Weather

    Denver in late January is mid-winter: cold, frequently sunny and generally dry, with daytime highs typically around 5-10 C (40-50 F) and night-time lows often between -8 and -3 C (18-27 F). Snow events are possible and can slow airport transfers and downtown traffic, so allow buffer on arrival and departure days and check forecasts before travelling. The city sits at roughly 1,600 m (5,280 ft), so air is dry and altitude can affect sleep and hydration in the first day or two.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    US mobile networks operate on GSM/LTE/5G, so most modern unlocked phones work with a US eSIM or prepaid SIM from a major carrier; set this up before departure so you have data for the A Line, rideshare and badge check-in. Wi-Fi is generally available in hotels and in public areas of the Colorado Convention Center, but show-floor networks get congested during peak hall hours - download the floor plan, exhibitor list and lead-capture tools in advance. Power outlets at US venues use 120 V Type A/B plugs, so international visitors need a plug adapter and, for some devices, a voltage converter.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business dress

    Dental convention dress in Denver is business casual to business: clinicians often wear smart casual with comfortable shoes for long hall days, while exhibitors typically wear branded polo shirts or suits depending on the product line. January weather means a warm coat over the top is essential.

    Tipping

    US tipping norms apply in Denver: around 15-20 percent at table-service restaurants, a dollar or two per drink at bars, and small amounts for hotel housekeeping and bell staff. Rideshare apps prompt for a tip in-app after the trip.

    Altitude and hydration

    Denver sits at roughly 1,600 m (5,280 ft). Alcohol hits harder, sleep can be disrupted and dehydration is common in the dry winter air. Drink more water than usual, take the first evening slowly and keep lip balm and moisturiser in your bag.

    Winter conditions

    Snow is possible in late January and the city is generally good at clearing main roads, but pavement can stay icy. Pack footwear with grip, allow extra time for rideshares and watch for black ice on the walk between hotels and the convention center.

    Local pace and small talk

    Colorado has a relaxed, outdoors-oriented business culture. Expect friendly small talk about skiing, hiking or the Broncos, and keep stand conversations direct - most buyers respond better to a clear product comparison than a long corporate pitch.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: DEN

    Book flights into Denver International (DEN), the region's commercial hub for United and Southwest. Published flight searches for January departures show nonstop options such as New York JFK to DEN around 4 hr 45 min, London Heathrow to DEN around 9 hr 50 min to 10 hr, and Tokyo Narita to DEN around 10 hr 35 min, with multiple daily nonstops from Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and other US hubs. January overlaps with Colorado ski season, so fares and seat availability tighten - book early, avoid tight same-day connections into the show's first morning, and allow a weather buffer on arrival day. International travellers should confirm ESTA or visa status before booking. All durations and fare indications are planning estimates - confirm schedules, baggage rules and prices directly with the airline.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Denver International (DEN). Allow road or rail time to Colorado Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Colorado Convention Center: Downtown Denver: Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown; Cherry Creek: Staybridge Suites Denver-Cherry Creek by IHG; Denver East: Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Denver East Hotel.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Denver, including at Denver International Airport, where pick-up happens in designated commercial lanes rather than at the terminal curb - follow airport signage after collecting bags. Downtown trips to the Colorado Convention Center are short and cheap, but surge pricing during morning hall opening and evening close is common; schedule a pick-up a few minutes before you need it or walk if your hotel is within the 14th-18th Street grid.

    Public transit: The RTD A Line commuter rail connects Denver International Airport with Denver Union Station in about 37 minutes, with trains roughly every 15-30 minutes and an approximate one-way airport fare of USD 10.50. From Union Station, RTD light rail runs two stops to Theatre District-Convention Center station, the closest rail stop to the Colorado Convention Center. The 16th Street MallRide shuttle is free and links the downtown hotel district to the convention center area. Confirm current lines, fares and service changes with RTD before travel.

    Parking: The Colorado Convention Center operates an attached parking garage, and several commercial garages serve the surrounding 14th and 15th Street blocks. Event-day rates vary by show, typically in the USD 20-40 range for downtown event parking - confirm the current rate and open garage entrances with the venue before driving in. Traffic on Speer Boulevard and 14th Street is heavy during morning hall opening; arriving 45-60 minutes early avoids the worst of it.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: January 2027 (RMDC runs 21-23 January, mid-winter in Denver)

    Temperature: Daytime highs typically around 5-10 C (40-50 F); night-time lows often between -8 and -3 C (18-27 F). Occasional colder snaps can push overnight lows well below -10 C (14 F).

    Seasonality: Late January is one of Denver's drier periods, with plenty of sunshine but a real chance of snow events. Snow can accumulate quickly and affect airport operations and downtown traffic, so check the forecast in the 48 hours before departure and build a buffer into arrival day.

    Packing: Pack a warm insulated coat, layers, gloves, a hat and footwear with grip for icy pavements. Add sunglasses and high-factor sunscreen for the strong winter sun at altitude, plus lip balm and moisturiser for the dry air. Bring a light layer for overheated exhibit halls and comfortable shoes for long days on concrete floors.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Rocky Mountain Dental Convention 2027 usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    T-14

    confirm your registration tier on rmdconline.com (ADA Member, New Dentist, Hygienist or Dental Team) and check what each tier includes before paying.

    T-14

    book the hotel - downtown Denver inventory tightens in January because the Colorado ski season is running at the same time.

    T-13

    book flights into Denver International (DEN) and aim to land the day before the show opens so a winter delay does not cost you the first morning.

    T-12

    map the A Line from DEN to Union Station and decide between rail, rideshare or taxi for arrival day.

    T-10

    download the show floor plan and shortlist exhibitors by category - chairs, imaging, CAD/CAM, hygiene, software - and pre-book any hands-on demonstrations.

    T-10

    check whether your practice management or imaging vendor is exhibiting and book a dedicated software session rather than a walk-up chat.

    T-7

    confirm continuing-education requirements and session bookings with the organiser if you are claiming credit for attendance.

    T-7

    prepare a purchase brief per product line - current equipment, budget range, decision-maker and contract end dates - so stand conversations are specific.

    T-5

    check the Denver forecast and pack layers, a warm coat and footwear that handles snow and slush.

    T-4

    arrange US phone connectivity - eSIM or prepaid SIM - and download airline, RTD and rideshare apps before departure.

    T-3

    print or save badge confirmation, hotel confirmation and any invitation letters needed at US border control.

    T-2

    plan the first 24 hours at altitude - hydrate, keep the first evening light and avoid scheduling a heavy dinner after a long flight.

    T-1

    charge devices, load lead-capture or note-taking tools, and confirm the venue entrance and badge pick-up location.

    Day 1

    walk the hall once without stopping, then return to the priority stands with your purchase brief.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is RMDC 2027 taking place?
    The Rocky Mountain Dental Convention runs 21-23 January 2027 at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, Colorado. The venue sits in the 14th Street district, walkable from most downtown hotels and connected to the RTD light rail at the Theatre District-Convention Center station.
    How much does it cost to attend RMDC 2027?
    Published RMDC rates show separate tiers: ADA Member USD 449, New Dentist USD 309, Hygienist USD 159 and Dental Team USD 135. Confirm the current rates, what each tier includes (single day versus full convention) and any non-member pricing on rmdconline.com before booking travel - registration categories and inclusions can change between editions.
    Who is RMDC 2027 aimed at?
    The convention is built for the dental practice: dentists and practice owners, specialists, dental hygienists, chairside assistants and front-office team members. The registration structure separates dentists, new dentists, hygienists and the wider dental team, so it is a clinical and practice-management show rather than a consumer dental fair.
    Is RMDC a trade-only event?
    Exhibitors and the professional programme are aimed at dental professionals and their practice teams, and registration is tiered by professional role (ADA Member, New Dentist, Hygienist, Dental Team). Check rmdconline.com for eligibility rules, guest policies and whether students or non-member professionals can register.
    How do I get from Denver International Airport to the Colorado Convention Center?
    Take the RTD A Line commuter rail from DEN to Denver Union Station (roughly 37 minutes, trains every 15-30 minutes, approximate airport fare around USD 10.50 one way - confirm with RTD), then transfer to RTD light rail for two stops to Theatre District-Convention Center station, or walk 20-25 minutes through downtown. Rideshare and taxi from DEN take 35-45 minutes off-peak and cost approximately USD 45-75; allow longer in rush hour or winter weather.
    What is the weather like in Denver in late January?
    Mid-winter: daytime highs typically around 5-10 C (40-50 F) and night-time lows often between -8 and -3 C (18-27 F). Conditions are generally dry and sunny, but snow events are possible and can affect airport transfers, so build slack into arrival plans and check forecasts before travelling.
    Where should I stay near the Colorado Convention Center?
    Most attendees stay in downtown Denver within a 5-20 minute walk of the hall, with midscale downtown properties typically pricing around USD 150-230 per night in January. Cherry Creek (about 10 minutes by rideshare) and the DEN airport corridor (35-45 minutes by rail or road) are the alternative bases if downtown is full or you have an early flight. January is ski season in Colorado, so book early.
    Do I need a visa to attend RMDC 2027 from outside the United States?
    Most international dental professionals enter the US either on a B-1 business visitor visa or, if their nationality is eligible, under the Visa Waiver Program with an approved ESTA obtained through the official CBP site. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the US Department of State and your local US embassy well before January 2027, and allow lead time for visa interview appointments.
    Is there parking at the Colorado Convention Center?
    The venue operates an attached parking garage with event-day rates that vary by show, and there are additional commercial garages in the surrounding 14th and 15th Street blocks. Confirm the current daily rate and which garage entrance is open for RMDC with the venue or the organiser before driving in.
    Will my phone and laptop work at the show?
    US networks run on GSM/LTE/5G, so most modern unlocked phones work with a US eSIM or prepaid SIM from a major carrier. Wi-Fi is generally available in hotels and in public areas of the convention center, but show-floor connectivity can be congested - download floor plans, badge confirmations and lead-capture apps before you arrive.
    Which airports and airlines serve Denver for the convention?
    Denver International (DEN) is the commercial gateway, about 40 km (25 mi) east of downtown, and it is a hub for United and Southwest with nonstop service from most US cities. Published flight searches show nonstop options such as New York JFK to DEN around 4 hr 45 min, London Heathrow to DEN around 9 hr 50 min and Tokyo Narita to DEN around 10 hr 35 min. Confirm schedules and fares with the airline.
    How should I plan my days at RMDC 2027?
    Treat it as a three-day show: day one for the exhibit hall walk-through and the equipment you need to sit in or scan with, day two for hands-on demonstrations, software trials and team briefings, day three for closing-day pricing conversations and follow-up scheduling. Leave buffer for Denver's altitude in the first 24 hours and for winter weather on transfer days.

    Glossary

    1
    CAD/CAM dentistry
    Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing: the workflow in which a tooth is scanned, a restoration is designed in software and a crown, inlay, onlay or splint is milled or printed in the practice. At RMDC the category covers scanners, design software, mills, furnaces and the blocks or discs they consume.
    2
    CBCT
    Cone beam computed tomography - a low-dose 3D X-ray used for implant planning, endodontic assessment, airway evaluation and surgical guidance. Exhibitors on the RMDC floor typically show scanner hardware plus the viewing and planning software that travels with it.
    3
    Intraoral scanner
    A handheld camera that captures a digital impression of teeth and soft tissue, replacing alginate or PVS impressions. Buyers compare scan speed, powder-free versus powder workflows, model-free restoration design and integration with their lab or mill.
    4
    DSO
    Dental service organisation - a corporate entity that owns and operates multiple practices under shared management, purchasing and clinical standards. DSO buyers at a regional show are usually looking at standardisation, volume pricing and multi-site software rollouts rather than single-chair equipment.
    5
    Prophylaxis
    The preventive cleaning procedure performed by a hygienist, including scaling, polishing and fluoride application. The products attached to it - ultrasonic tips, prophy paste, disclosing agents, fluoride varnish - are a core part of the hygiene-side exhibit offer.
    6
    Four-handed dentistry
    A chairside working method in which dentist and assistant work as a coordinated pair, with instruments passed and suction managed to reduce fatigue and chair time. It drives demand for delivery-unit layout, assistant stools and ergonomic instrument positioning.
    7
    Continuing education (CE)
    Structured clinical and practice-management coursework that dental professionals complete to maintain licensure and stay current. At dental conventions CE is delivered through lectures and hands-on workshops, and it is a main reason hygienists and assistants attend alongside dentists.
    8
    Bonding agent and adhesive
    Resin systems that bond composite to enamel and dentine, and in some products to ceramics and metal. They are evaluated on dentine sealing, technique sensitivity, shelf stability and compatibility with a practice's chosen composite line.

    10
    Guided surgery
    Implant placement using a surgical guide or navigated plan derived from CBCT and an intraoral scan, intended to place the implant in the planned position with less flap reflection. It links the imaging, scanning and implant categories on the show floor.
    11
    Infection control cycle
    The instrument reprocessing sequence of transport, cleaning, inspection, packaging, sterilisation and storage. Vendors sell into every step: washers, pouches, autoclaves, indicator strips, tracking software and surface barriers.
    12
    Practice management system (PMS)
    The software that runs scheduling, charting, treatment planning, billing and recall in a dental practice. Switching systems is disruptive, so buyers evaluate data migration, insurance clearinghouse integration and training support during the show.
    13
    Revenue cycle management
    The end-to-end process of coding, claim submission, payer follow-up and patient collections in a practice. Front-office teams at RMDC compare outsourced billing services and software against existing in-house workflows.
    14
    Dental team rate
    A registration category used by RMDC that lets hygienists, assistants, front-office staff and other team members attend at a lower fee than the dentist tiers. It is a useful signal for exhibitors that non-clinical and chairside buyers walk the floor.
