The National Conference Center site
The top program managers know there’s only one place that delivers an extraordinary environment for learning and development: The National Conference Center. Our facility sits on a 40-acre, distraction-free campus that includes everything from meeting space and recreation to dining and accommodations. We offer flexible space designed specifically for corporate learning and residential training.
A Big Deal When you need a lot of space for a lot of people, we’ve got you covered. The National has more than 250 meeting rooms, 917 guest rooms, an 880-seat dining room and 800 parking spaces. Plus, we have Northern Virginia’s largest grand ballroom, which can host up to 1,800 guests.
Built for Learning Originally constructed in 1974 as the Xerox Learning and Development Center, The National was literally built for training. Each of our primary meeting rooms has a flexible design to allow for multiple configurations. Meeting and guest rooms are separated into five distinct areas so large groups can own an entire section of the building. Our complex was created to host groups 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. We even have below-ground hallways that keep your group connected – no matter the weather.
Immersed in Tech Technology is constantly changing. And so are we. The National is continuously upgrading with the latest meeting, learning and presentation technology, from HD projectors and Catchboxes to fiber internet. We even have our own in-house production staff, Creative Productions, with top-of-the-line equipment and an expert team of technologists to ensure your training goes off without a hitch.
Designed for Teams Our winding halls may seem like a maze at first, but they were actually designed as an immersive team-building experience, bringing colleagues closer as they work together to reach their destination (or find the bar). While we provide campus maps, signage and wayfinding, the team-centric spirit of the facility is still here. The communal design encourages interaction with gathering places around every corner.
