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 2018.

• Easy access to Metro rail aids transportation and the effectiveness of our advocacy with Congress. 
• The Omni cooperates with our on-line registration option to facilitate room sharing to make the conference as affordable as possible.
• 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.
• The Omni Shoreham is consistent with our mission and commitment to providing a just and living wage to its employees, and allows them to organize in unions.
  
  

We encourage participants to fly into/out of one of the 3 DC-area airports: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

CSMG attendees flying into Dulles (in northern Virginia) or Baltimore (in Maryland) can get to and from DC via cab, shuttle, train, or rental car. Ronald Reagan National Airport is also serviced by Metrorail on the blue and yellow lines, while Dulles (IAD) is a short bus ride from Metrorail on the silver line, and Baltimore/Washington (BWI) is serviced by Amtrak and Marc rail lines.

The gathering officially kicks off with our Opening Keynote presentation on Saturday, February 3rd at 3:00 p.m. However, prior to that, there will be optional, pre-meetings and special events on the morning of Saturday, February 3rd. Also, if you are new to CSMG, don’t miss the orientation session for first-time participants at 1:30 p.m. Arrive early and jump start your professional networking to make the most of your CSMG experience. Gatherings for participants in Diversity Outreach Initiative and Young Leaders Initiative are at 12:00 pm on Saturday (by invitation).

CSMG 2018 will conclude at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 6th following our Capitol Hill reception and the culmination of our time together – our advocacy visits with members of Congress.
