Depart
Transportation/Participation
Where should I fly?: if you need to fly Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) is about 5 minute metro ride on the blue/yellow line towards Franconia/Huntington to Potomac Yard station, with Washington Dulles (IAD) is about an hour away on the metro (<7$) take the sliver line from Dulles towards Largo/NewCarlton to Roslyn, then change trains to the blue line to Franconia. You can pay for the metro with your credit card and do not need to obtain a separate metro card. The metro in DC is relatively safe and is often faster than a car.
Where to stay? Hotel/accommodation information: There are nearby hotels. If applicable, you can also use the Gov’t rate
What is changing in this edition?:
Remote Participation? We’ll do our best to accommodate remote participation, but in-person attendance is strongly preferred for active members of the project. External collaborators who attend remotely may do so at no cost.
