Stay at the Sheraton Suites old town

We highly encourage you to stay at the Sheraton during the conference.

Why? You’ll be able to:

  • Catch every moment of the packed conference program
  • Have quick access to all the networking functions taking place at the Sheraton, which are only an elevator ride from your room
  • Maximize your networking time with opportunities to meet colleagues for breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • Have immediate access to your guest room and hotel facilities, allowing you to conveniently take short breaks, access a change of clothes, safely store your laptop and drop off your conference materials

Spend less time in transit and more time connecting with friends. The newly renovated hotel in Alexandria VA provides easy access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington D.C. The hotel is a short stroll from the Potomac River Waterfront, where you can enjoy the celebrated art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and shopping.

We look forward to welcoming you to the conference!

Visa Requirements for International Visitors

Citizens of some countries need visas to enter the U.S. and should plan to apply for their visas well in advance. Due to new security measures, it takes longer for U.S. embassies and consulates abroad to process applications.
