A MESSAGE FROM ELLIOTT L. FERGUSON, II
Washington, DC is synonymous with purposeful events.
As a city designed to gather, we are excited to welcome meetings and groups of all sizes – from intimate events at boutique hotels to large-scale conventions at the LEED Platinum certified Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Only DC is home to both local innovation and global leadership shown through:
• Exclusive knowledge and access to hundreds of organizations.
• 175 embassies, plus renowned think tanks and financial institutions.
• Experts in booming sectors such as medical, technology and sustainability.
DC’s diversity of experiences and benefits as a destination are unmatched. You’ll find exceptional event spaces overlooking the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, along with sites that laid the foundation of our nation 250 years ago. Taste DC’s blend of cultures by dining at one of 25 Michelin-starred restaurants or in a unique neighborhood spot. Our city prioritizes sustainability, as evident in our public transportation and abundant green space. DC’s walkability makes it easy to eliminate the use of shuttles, and the Metro connects both Ronald Reagan National and Dulles International airports to downtown.
We hope the following pages provide inspiration. Our dedicated team can’t wait to welcome you to DC.
Regards,
Elliott L. Ferguson, II
