When should I arrive?

What happens Thursday night?

Should I bring my team?

What about students?

What happens Sunday?

Should I stay at the host hotel?

How do I make the most of the weekend?

This post is designed to help answer those questions and help you begin planning your trip to Denver.

MILE HIGH FOURTEEN takes place August 20–23, 2026, at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Denver Thornton in Denver, Colorado.
The first recommendation is simple.
Arrive Thursday.
Could you arrive Friday morning? Technically yes.
Would we recommend it? Absolutely not.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is treating MILE HIGH like a conference they attend. MILE HIGH is an experience you participate in.

Registration opens Thursday evening, along with our Meet & Greet Happy Hour. Those first few hours matter more than many people realize. Friendships reconnect. New relationships begin. Students meet mentors. Teams meet teams. Doctors meet people who will influence their lives and practices for years to come.
Thursday evening also includes our opening session and first presentations.
Friday and Saturday are our primary event experience days.

Throughout both days you can expect main stage presentations, continuing education opportunities, breakout experiences, team development, networking, philosophy, science, art, leadership, communication, business, pediatrics, practice growth, personal growth, and conversations that continue long after the sessions end.

One thing that surprises many first-time attendees is that some of the most valuable moments happen between the scheduled events.

The conversation in the hallway.

The discussion over lunch.
The question asked after a presentation.
The student who introduces themselves.
The doctor who shares a breakthrough.
The team member who suddenly sees a bigger vision for what is possible.
Those moments cannot be scheduled, but they happen every year.

Saturday evening concludes with the MILE HIGH After-Party.
If you've attended before, you already know what a special part of the weekend this has become.
If you've never attended before, make plans to be there.
Some of the strongest friendships in chiropractic have started at MILE HIGH after-parties.
Sunday remains available for attendees needing additional continuing education opportunities.

Current Sunday offerings include documentation and record-keeping training as well as CPR certification opportunities.
Sunday is completely optional.
Many attendees choose to stay for CE.
Others use Sunday as a travel day.

Some stay an extra day in Colorado to spend additional time with friends and colleagues before heading home.

Another common question:

Should I bring my team?
Without hesitation, yes.

The doctors who receive the greatest value from MILE HIGH are often the ones who experience it with their teams.
There is something powerful about hearing the same message together.
Your team gains language.
Your team gains certainty.
Your team gains vision.
Your team gains connection to a bigger chiropractic conversation.

When you return home, everyone is operating from a shared experience.

Students are another important part of MILE HIGH.
Every year we watch students connect with leaders, mentors, future employers, future business partners, and lifelong friends. If you're a doctor attending MILE HIGH, consider taking a student to lunch.
Invite them to sit with you.
Ask about their goals.
Help them feel welcomed into the profession.
Those moments matter.

Where should you stay?

At the host hotel.
Delta Hotels by Marriott Denver Thornton serves as the center of the entire experience. Staying onsite places you close to the sessions, the networking, the after-party, the meals, the spontaneous conversations, and the community. Many attendees tell us their favorite conversations happened in the lobby, restaurant, elevator, or coffee area.

You cannot experience those moments if you're staying twenty minutes away. Reserve your room early. Historically, the room block fills quickly.

What should you do now?

Register.
Reserve your hotel room.
Add your team members.
Add your spouse if they are joining you.
Review your CE needs.
Secure your after-party tickets.
Consider supporting student attendance.

Most importantly, give yourself permission to experience the entire weekend rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. MILE HIGH FOURTEEN is not simply about gathering information. It's about expanding vision. It's about strengthening community. It's about remembering why chiropractic matters.

It's about spending a weekend with people who believe we can continue to elevate this profession together.

Mile High 14 | Nothing Is Impossible
August 20–23, 2026 | Denver, Colorado

Freedom creates possibility.
Possibility creates growth.
Growth creates leadership.

Today we pause to recognize Juneteenth and the continued pursuit of opportunity, dignity, and freedom for all people.
At MILE HIGH, we believe powerful things happen when people gather, learn from one another, and rise together.

Here's to building a future where more people have the opportunity to contribute their gifts, their voice, and their leadership.

Some moments stay with you.

Not because of headlines…
because of what was felt in the room.

Just thinkin' what If RFK Jr was back at Mile High in 2026??

When Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood on the Mile High stage, the conversation around health, prevention, and the future of care felt different.

Since then, the national dialogue has only grown louder.

Interesting how quickly the world is changing.

MILE HIGH FOURTEEN is coming.

And something tells me this year’s conversations may matter more than ever.

See you in Denver.
