10am friday morning I believe
and yes Light rail is going to be, by far, the easiest way to get to the convention center if you are local. Park in any light rail lot outside of the city and ride it in. The D and H lines, both go right through downtown and literally drop off right next to the convention center doors. I wouldnt want to try and drive into the city if you can avoid it. The Taste of Colorado is also this weekend. driving through the city and parking anywhere in the city is going to be hectic and likely fairly expensive

Greetings everyone.....
Light Rail is your friend... it stops right at the Convention Center and is much easier than trying to park downtown.
Speakers start at 9am, the exhibit hall opens at 10am. If you are a MASNA member (ALL of you should be!!!!!) then you get early access to the show floor on Friday at 9am. That means you get to see the cool stuff before anyone else.
If you have a pass to get in to the show, you have access to the speakers at 9am. They are in a different room. We have 100K sq ft of space in use at the Convention Center... this isn't a little frag swap.
Two other events you should know about: Friday morning at 8am is the MASNA member meeting. Spend $20 to become a member and help support the hobby. We will be electing the new board members during this time.
Sunday morning at 8am is the MASNA Presidents meeting. Doyle... are you listening?? This is for you......

OK - I'm not a public transportation snob - I just never have a need to use it. Since I am not familiar with it, I have to ask... Is it safe for a woman traveling alone at night? I will be staying for the reception and the banquet on Fri and Sat. Hubby is only going on Sunday. I guess I'd use 9 mile (H) if I did this.
The only sketchy public transportation line I've seen in Denver is the Colfax BUS line late at night. IMO the light rail is extremely safe...the platforms and lots tend to be very well lit, and often have a patrol car sitting there for extra assurance. Granted...I'm a guy from NYC so maybe my view is skewed lol. If it helps, my g/f commuted on the light rail every day for a year and never had an issue.
