How attendees reach it

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.

Being 0.9 km (0.6 mi) from the middle of Washington means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Washington has 128 venues mapped in total and a population of 702,250. The Washington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
