Experience2023 RGM&HS Convention
Mark your calendars for our 2023 convention which will be in Denver, Colorado on August 27-30, 2023, and will run sequentially with the 2023 National Narrow Gauge convention which will run August 30th – September 02, 2023.
Our 2023 RGM&HS Convention will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Denver – Aurora, which is short distance from the hotel hosting the National Narrow Gauge convention (NNGC). So it's the perfect opportunity to take in both events while in Denver.
We are taking a similar agenda to our 2017 RGM&HS Convention that was also in Denver in the days before the 2017 NNGC and will include 10 programs on both standard and narrow gauge D&RGW topics.
We are still working on the schedule and will be providing periodic updates as it develops in the next month or so. Our goal is to have the sessions over the course of the event firmed up on the schedule by early 2023
Don't wait, register now!
Our convention fee is $95. We also have a special convention rate for rooms (standard king or two queen bed rooms) at the DoubleTree for just $119 a night.
