If you plan to travel through Washington Dulles International Airport or Baltimore/Washington International Airport, we recommend either taking a taxi or pre-arranging shuttle transportation, as Metro service to and from these facilities is not yet available.  Approximate one-way taxi fares are $50 - $60 for Dulles and $55 - $75 for BWI.  The SuperShuttle also serves both of these airports.

Climate and Attire

March weather in the Metropolitan DC area averages a high of 56° F and an average low of 37° F.  March can also be one of the rainier months, so please check your favorite weather source before packing and traveling. Business and business-casual attire are both appropriate for the meeting, and we remind you to bring what you may need to utilized the Westin’s exercise facilities or just to walk around the town.

Meals

The Conference will provide two continental breakfasts, a working lunch, morning and afternoon breaks, and the Thursday evening reception.  Outside of the conference, the immediate neighborhood offers myriad options for dinner and entertainment, and, of course, Washington DC is a short taxi or Metro ride away.
