Lodging
The conference will take place on Georgetown’s main campus at:
3700 O St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20057
While there is no designated hotel for conference attendees, the university keeps a list of area hotels that are relatively close to campus. We encourage ride-sharing and public transportation to get to the conference venue, as parking is often difficult around the university.
