Sirens Shuttle Between Denver International Airport and Vail--Now Available
A conference-sponsored shuttle will depart from Denver at 3:30 p.m. on October 1 and leave the Vail Cascade at 10:30 a.m. on October 4, which will accommodate flights arriving by 2:00 p.m. on October 1 or departing after 3:00 p.m. on October 4.

As of today, tickets are available to new registrants as well as to those who are already registered. (If you're already registered, please use the Change My Registration page to purchase a ticket.) Those holding a registration may also purchase additional tickets for friends and family to ride along. A round-trip ticket costs $95, which is about half the cost of using a scheduled-service commercial shuttle--and saves you the cost of gas and parking at the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa. 

Sirens Supper
If you'll be in Vail ahead of time, please feel free to join us for our staff dinner on Wednesday, September 30. Starting at 7:00 p.m., this Colorado-style western buffet costs $60, which includes food, non-alcoholic drinks, and gratuity.

Sirens is please to announce that authors Kristin Cashore, Tamora Pierce, and Sherwood Smith will be the Guests of Honor for the inaugural year of Sirens. They are all outstanding authors of fantasy works, and we're thrilled to have them be part of the conference. Each author will present her work and a keynote presentation during the weekend; all of these presentations, including the two luncheons and dessert reception that accompany the keynotes, are included with all Sirens registrations.
