APDA does not have a guaranteed room block at any of these hotels.  Once the hotel is sold out, APDA can't get additional rooms.  Please feel free to choose the hotel of your choice. 

Other hotel suggestions:
This link will show you the route the shuttle bus takes.  There are five stops besides the one just below CGA offices (800 Maine Ave).  Some alternate hotel options that are near shuttle stops include: Hyatt Place Washington DC/National Mall; Citizenm Washington DC Capitol Hotel; Holiday Inn Washington Capitol-National Mall; and the Hilton Washington DC National Mall/The Wharf
 
Free shuttle stops are at the L-Enfant Metro Station, so you can consider using the Metro to come over from Pentagon City/Crystal City, Virginia (which has a lot of hotel offerings too) or other parts of DC.  L-Enfant is a major transfer point for the Metro.  The Orange, Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Green lines all pass through L-Enfant.  Here is a link to the Metro Map in case it is helpful.  L’Enfant has one of the big bullseye marks on it.  Please allot extra travel time if you select a hotel option away from the immediate vicinity of the CGA office. 

All APDA events and meals will be held at Cornerstone Government Affairs (CGA) office located at      Your registration includes: 

• All Capitol Hill Visits will be arranged in advance.  Please provide the specific states in which you operate, as well as the specific congressional districts in which you operate if not covering the entire state. This information needs to be provided at registration.

  Washington, DC 20024
• During our Tuesday or Wednesday evening event (TD), we will be extending invitations to Representatives from both political parties asking them to address our conference to provide remarks on the current environment in Washington and provide insights on how that effects our industry and federal initiatives.
• TRAVEL PLANNING: 
  Plan to arrive and be checked into your hotel by 5 pm on Tuesday, May 7th, so you can join the dinner reception at 530pm.

We would love for all of our Associate Business Members to support our lobbying efforts in D.C. this May by joining us for Capitol Hill visits with our US representatives in support of the portable diagnostics industry.  Your participation is valuable and demonstrates that our industry has a broad impact beyond just the portable diagnostics providers.
