Getting there

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.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

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.

Formats this suits

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.
