We can accept in-person payments by credit card or check. Cash payments will not be accepted.

What are your health protocols?

This includes self-monitoring for illnesses and respecting the personal space and decisions of other attendees. We will follow all local Washington, DC travel advisory guidelines.

The dress code is business casual. We encourage you to bring a sweater or jacket because the meeting rooms are air conditioned and can be chilly.
