Message to Attendees: PIUG has made every effort to secure the best possible group nightly room rate for you at this event. That rate results from a negotiated overall package of event needs such as sleeping rooms, meeting room space and other requirements. Contracts with the venue include a provision to reduce event costs if PIUG meets or exceeds its minimum sleeping room block guarantee. Conversely, event costs will increase if PIUG falls short of its minimum room block guarantee. Please help PIUG keep the costs of this event as low as possible by booking your housing needs at the designated host hotel and through the reservation process created by PIUG. Reserving elsewhere means you are booking outside the contracted room block, jeopardizing PIUG's ability to meet its contracted obligations and to keep registration fees to a minimum. PIUG appreciates your support and understanding of this important issue. Thank you.

Check-in time is 3:00 pm. Check-out time is noon.

Please remember to make your hotel reservation prior to 11:59 PM EDT on April 11, 2025 in order to guarantee the room prices negotiated by PIUG for this conference. After that, it is at the hotel's discretion to accept additional reservations, which will be subject to prevailing rates and availability. Depending on availability, the hotel will honor the PIUG room rate from May 3 - May 7, 2025.  Please contact admin@piug.org, if you need assistance with booking a room.

Other Transportation

For Uber or Lyft, there is a designated pickup location that differs from the taxi location. Check these web pages in advance: Using Uber or Lyft at National Airport and Uber at Reagan National Airport

Super Shuttle. A shared ride runs $35 and a non-stop ride runs about $70 and will pick you up at the airport and drop you off at the conference hotel.

Cheapest Price, 90-120 minute

Pick up the 5A L'Enfant Plaza Station bus at Dulles Main Terminal (follow signs to buses) to the N Moore St & Rosslyn Station on the Blue Line subway. Take the Blue Line South (towards Franconia-Springfield) seven stops to King Street-Old Town and follow the instructions above under "By Train." Check the Moovit App

Baltimore Airport (BWI)

This airport is about 44 miles (71 km) from Alexandria, VA, and if you have a choice, pick Ronald Reagan airport, but if you must fly into Baltimore, check Baltimore Airport (BWI) to Alexandria-VA-USA for travel options to the conference hotel.

To get to the conference hotel from BWI, take a shuttle bus to the train terminal at the airport. At the train terminal, you can take either a MARC or an Amtrak train. MARC trains are less expensive than Amtrak, however, MARC is a commuter rail service, so it tends to have more trains heading toward Washington in the mornings and fewer in the afternoons since the trains run with the commuter flow. There's also no service on weekends. On Amtrak, you'll pay between $12 and $33 one way depending on what train you get on. The MARC train will cost $6 each way. The train ride to Union Station will be about 40 minutes, plus another 30 minutes on the subway, plus all the time spent waiting for trains and so forth. Take MARC or Amtrak to Washington's Union Station. At Union Station, transfer to the Metro subway system and take the Red Line to the Metro Center station. At Metro Center, switch to the Blue Line and take it to the King Street station then follow the instructions for walking from the Metro station to the hotel in this travel section under Ronald Reagan DCA Airport.

If you take Amtrak, you may be able to get a train that is going through Washington and stopping at Alexandria (it stops next to the Metro station there). It will cost $35 each way.

Check Uber for BWI and Lyft for BWI.
