Registrants are responsible for their own travel and lodging accommodations. However, a group rate has been established (slots are limited).

Event Location, Lodging, and Travel

Conference meetings and workshops will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Washington DC Silver Spring. This is also the recommended hotel for this conference. However, there are many other options in the area. We recommend booking your room early. Group rates at the Doubletree are available for a limited time. To reserve your room at the group rate, use the Group Name: NPCL Inc. and Group Code: 90V. If you want to reserve your hotel room at the group rate now, click here.

If you are traveling from outside of the D.C. metro area, there are three major airports to consider: Washington National (DCA), Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), and Dulles (IAD). Washington National Airport is the closest (miles and drive time), but BWI and Dulles are good options also. There’s much to see and do in the Washington Metropolitan area. The conference planning committee will provide more details on area attractions as we get closer to the event start date.
