Getting there
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) sits 7 km (4.3 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
The centre of Washington is 2.1 km (1.3 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
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.

- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
