CASB Convention registration opens next week with a new process for making Broadmoor Hotel reservations
We are excited to announce that registration will open next week for the 79th Annual CASB Convention: Creating a Vision for Colorado — The Challenge of Change. In addition, we want to make sure you are aware of an updated system for reserving hotel rooms at the Broadmoor Hotel.
Given the limited number of rooms available at the Broadmoor Hotel during Convention, we worked with a focus group this summer that provided input on the best process to provide equitable access to rooms. Given this feedback, Convention registration will be required prior to districts receiving a link that will give your district access to the room block at the Broadmoor Hotel based on your district's placement on a randomized lottery list. School districts that have a reservation link being held for them based on the lottery list and do not register after two weeks of Convention opening will lose their space to the next district on the wait list. Our goal is to maximize the number of rooms available to CASB Convention attendees.
We respectfully ask that students and chaperones are housed at one of our two other Convention hotels: The DoubleTree by Hilton and the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. Both locations have shuttle service available.
Stay tuned for additional details next week!
