Why the Omni? While we realize that CSMG registration and hotel costs are not insignificant, like all such conferences they would be even higher if we could not assure our hotel that a large percentage of participants will stay in the conference hotel. Here are a few more good reasons to stay at the Omni during CSMG 2016.
- The Omni Shoreham is consistent with our mission and commitment to a just and living wage, and allows employees to organize in unions.
- Staying at the Omni allows CSMG participants to gain the most from the many opportunities in just a few days.
- The Omni cooperates with our on-line registration option to facilitate room sharing to make the conference as affordable as possible.
- Easy access to Metro rail aids transportation and the effectiveness of our advocacy with Congress.
- Many excellent and affordable dining options are located within easy walking distance.
- Our location at the edge of Rock Creek Park makes it
easy to get a moment for quiet reflection or fresh air to keep you going
through all of the programs and important work of the Gathering.
