Getting there
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is 9 km (5.6 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
The centre of Washington is 4.8 km (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.
Formats this suits
850 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- 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.
- community meetings
Room for 850 covers most community and member meetings.
