How attendees reach it

6 km (3.7 mi) to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.

1.6 km (1 mi) out from the middle of Washington — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.

The published number for the venue is +1 202-249-3000.

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.
