Plan your trip

Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Denver International
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown
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
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
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
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.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
commuter rail (RTD A Line)
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
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
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)
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.

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
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
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.
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.
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
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.
confirm your registration tier on rmdconline.com (ADA Member, New Dentist, Hygienist or Dental Team) and check what each tier includes before paying.
book the hotel - downtown Denver inventory tightens in January because the Colorado ski season is running at the same time.
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.
map the A Line from DEN to Union Station and decide between rail, rideshare or taxi for arrival day.
download the show floor plan and shortlist exhibitors by category - chairs, imaging, CAD/CAM, hygiene, software - and pre-book any hands-on demonstrations.
check whether your practice management or imaging vendor is exhibiting and book a dedicated software session rather than a walk-up chat.
confirm continuing-education requirements and session bookings with the organiser if you are claiming credit for attendance.
prepare a purchase brief per product line - current equipment, budget range, decision-maker and contract end dates - so stand conversations are specific.
check the Denver forecast and pack layers, a warm coat and footwear that handles snow and slush.
arrange US phone connectivity - eSIM or prepaid SIM - and download airline, RTD and rideshare apps before departure.
print or save badge confirmation, hotel confirmation and any invitation letters needed at US border control.
plan the first 24 hours at altitude - hydrate, keep the first evening light and avoid scheduling a heavy dinner after a long flight.
charge devices, load lead-capture or note-taking tools, and confirm the venue entrance and badge pick-up location.
walk the hall once without stopping, then return to the priority stands with your purchase brief.
