If you are planning to attend the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC, there is useful information available on the DC convention center website: http://www.dcconvention.com/
You should receive room locations for any Annual Conference meetings, events, programs, or preconferences that are being held at the convention center; once you have registered.
If you want to find out where a room is located at the convention center, you can go to the convention center website and click on the button for “Meeting Planners” that lists floor charts.
Most, if not all, of the ALA conference hotels should also have information on their websites for “meeting planners” that lists floor charts for the rooms and ballrooms. The floor charts are an easy way to help you get to the meeting, program, event, preconference, etc. and assist in estimating travel time.
At the bottom of the DC convention center website, there is a short “Frequently Asked Questions” section with links to information on nearby restaurants, parking, directions/transportation, etc.
Under “Attendees” section at the bottom of the webpage, look for the question “What to wear?.” You can click on the link there for information on current weather conditions.
I hope this information helps make your travel to and from the DC convention center a little easier.
Please feel free to share any travel tips that you use.
