Transportation
Flights
The closest airport to the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley is the Denver International Airport (DEN), which is a hub for United and Southwest.
Travel to/from Conference Hotel
There are currently no shuttle services that service Greeley. Travel options to the hotel include car rental at the airport, Uber, and Lyft. Uber prices can range from $50 to $100 each way.
Attendees who wish to share transportation with other conference attendees are encouraged to do so. To assist with coordinating transportation between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Greeley, we have created a WhatsApp Community called the “SSCM 2026 Annual Meeting WhatsApp Community.” After joining, conference attendees are welcome to post in the “Travel & Ride Coordination” group if they wish to coordinate a shared Uber, Lyft, or rental car. Participants may choose to share their arrival date, flight arrival time, and whether they are seeking a ride or able to offer one. Participation is entirely optional, and individuals are encouraged to share only what they feel comfortable disclosing. The community can be accessed here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/Kx7yrZSLXpHAfhGsuvOGV0.
Travel to/from Conference Events
A UNC van will be provided to help shuttle conference attendees from the hotel to the conference locations on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In addition, conference attendees are encouraged to use the WhatsApp Community to coordinate rides with those who have a rental car.
