Travel to Gaylord National Resort &
8 km (5 mi) to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
The centre of Alexandria is 3.7 km (2.3 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Alexandria has 6 venues mapped in total and a population of 159,102. The Alexandria guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
An exhibition building is bought by the square foot, not the seat. What decides whether your show fits is column spacing, ceiling height and how many trucks can be on the dock at once, so ask Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center for the hall sheet rather than a capacity number.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
