Registration Open for 2020 U.S. Go Congress

Post by EricW »

Registration is now open for the 36th annual U.S. Go Congress, which will be held August 1-9 at the YMCA camp near Estes Park, CO. Click here to register: https://www.gocongress.org/2020/sign_ups/sign_up.

The main playing site is Assembly Hall in the center of camp, which is surrounded by many indoor and outdoor amenities, plus the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. “It’s the perfect setting for both players and non-players alike, an ideal vacation destination for the whole family!” says Congress organizers.

The camp is just outside Estes Park, and under two hours from Denver International Airport (DIA). You can sign up for the airport shuttle during registration, or rent a car at the airport. The Congress has plenty of rooms reserved on-site, or you can choose from many off-site locations (but act soon as summer fills up quickly). Click here for detailed information about the Congress: https://www.gocongress.org/2020.

During registration, you can sign up for lodging and meal plans, the banquet, and the day-off activities.

“There are official tours to please almost everyone, from open-air trollies servicing Rocky Mountain National Park, ghost tours at the historic Stanley Hotel, cable-car rides to the top of Prospect mountain, and horseback riding,” says Congress Co-Director Eric Wainwright. “If any of these don’t fit the bill, there’s an abundance of informal tours and other activities as well.”

“We hope to make this the best congress yet!”

Probably a very wise move.

Sadly, I agree. Too bad as Colorado is always nice to visit.

Thanks to all the organizers - I hope your efforts don't go completely to waste.
