Despite the snow flurries
in DC on Sunday, Jan 5, the Summit is still happening!
|
 |
|
The Policy Summit is being held in Gaston Hall, an auditorium on the third floor of Healy Hall on the Georgetown University Campus. Healy Hall is pretty easy to find; it's the gorgeous Gothic building with the clock tower that you see in front of you as you enter the campus from the main gates at 37th and O Streets, NW. Go here to download a map of the Georgetown campus. |

Baltimore-Washington Airport (MD) (airport code BWI)
Washington's Union Station
Washington DC has the Metro -- a subway line that links most parts of
the city and serves as a great way to get around. Unfortunately the Metro
doesn't have a stop in Georgetown. The closest stops are the GWU stop
(orange line) and the Rosslyn stop (orange line), both of which are about
a mile from campus.
As you might guess there are a plethora of cab companies in the DC area.
DC cabs are paid by the zone, not by a meter. If you’d like to take
a cab to Georgetown, we recommend that you have them drop you off a block
away from campus on 36th St. It will be a full zone cheaper than having
them take you to the gates. From the 18th St. & 11th St. hostels it
will be $6.90 normally or $7.90 during rush hour. Here are a couple that
service the DC/VA area: Yellow Cab of DC (202) 544-1212, Red Top Cab of
Virginia (703) 522-3333.
Parking is extremely limited around Georgetown. There's basically no
public parking available on campus, and street parking in the area is
limited to 2 hours unless you have a residential permit. And the police
are ruthless with the tickets. We'd suggest cabbing it or finding other
means unless you want to run out and move your car every few hours.
Here are a number of hotel recommendations for folks attending the Summit on various budgets.
