Frequently Asked Questions

NatCon will take place from April 27-29 in 2026.

NatCon will be held at the Colorado Convention Center located at 700 14th Street in Denver.

Denver is known as the “Mile High City” because it sits at an elevation of 5,280 feet above sea level. At this altitude, the air is thinner and contains less oxygen, which can affect your body if you’re not used to it. You may experience mild symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue or dehydration. To help your body adjust, we recommend drinking plenty of water before and during your trip, limiting alcohol consumption and taking it easy for the first day or so. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, talk to your doctor before traveling. Most visitors adjust quickly and comfortably with a few simple precautions!

Once that happens, the hotel will email you a confirmation number directly. Before that transfer, the hotel will not have your reservation in their system, so reaching out to the hotel directly may cause confusion. If you need to update your reservation or have questions in the meantime, please contact Resiada for assistance.

We will take swift action by sending a cease-and-desist letter to the offending party. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
