Venue

All conference functions will take place at The Mayflower Hotel.

The Mayflower Hotel
1127 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20036

Known as Washington's "Grande Dame," The Mayflower Hotel has been the backdrop for political history for a century — hosting inaugural balls, presidents, and power brokers since 1925. Located on Connecticut Avenue just four blocks from the White House, the Mayflower puts you in the heart of downtown DC, steps from Dupont Circle, K Street, and the city's premier restaurants and meeting spots.

With its grand ballrooms, timeless elegance, and unmatched location, there's no more fitting setting for the political community to gather, take stock of 2026, and toast the cycle's top talent
