MEETINGS OF CAPITAL PROPORTIONS
Meetings in Northern Virginia probably got their first major start when Virginia patriots stopped at Mount Vernon to meet with George Washington.

Important meetings continue to be held today at Mount Vernon, as well as in all parts of Northern Virginia. While gatherings are often related to national politics or national associations headquartered in the area, organizations with absolutely no ties to Washington hold meetings and conferences in Northern Virginia because there is so much to see and do, and because accommodations, meeting facilities and travel are so outstanding.

In fact, visitors from around the world—whether they have an interest in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, art, museums, national monuments or modern pursuits such as shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as outdoor recreation, meet here. After all, meeting in the nation’s capital generates an excitement like no other place.
