Our graphic recording projects have taken us to each of these, and here are a few of our favorite locations below!

The Watergate Hotel

With stunning views of the city and large sized rooms perfect for conference events, the Watergate Hotel has it all. Our favorite place, the Moretti Grand Ballroom has 27,000 square feet ready to accommodate your needs. This space has a lot of natural light, which we love. You can’t beat that river view! This hotel would be an excellent option for an all-day event, and you could end the night with a gorgeous view of the sunset to top it all off.

Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center

The possibilities are honestly endless with this space. You can make your event into a one of a kind experience with all of the available locations in this building. From more massive galas and fundraisers to smaller board-style meetings, there are few different ways to host an event here. Our personal favorite, the Atrium has amazing ceilings and architecture that can serve as an excellent backdrop for your conference panel or gala gathering.

The Hamilton

One of the more lively locations on our list, The Hamilton has so many fun places to enhance your event program. The Hamilton Live stage is a great platform and has ample seating for many people to attend. This location also has a lot of technology options and sound and lighting packages as well.

Dock5

The end our list we saved one of the best for last. Dock5 is a unique warehouse space that is indeed a blank canvas you can create as your own. From smaller scale events to more massive guest lists or audiences, this space can really transform into whatever you want it to be. With such a flexible floor plan, event producers can get creative.
