The National Conference Center site
At The National Conference Center, we understand the importance of cuisine at your event. That’s why we take a hyperlocal, ingredient-driven approach that starts in the dining room and continues through our refreshment breaks, event catering, and Black Olive Bar & Grill. Diverse menus that satisfy every palate and dietary need are carefully crafted by our award-winning team.
Chef of the Year and one of Loudoun’s 40 under 40 honorees, Executive Chef and Beverage Director Frank Estremera is constantly advancing the creative culinary experience at The National. A passionate experimentalist, Frank spearheaded our local food initiative and expanded The National’s ethnic and cultural experiences, all the while focusing on providing nutritious, well-balanced options to our guests.
At The National, refreshments are available any time you need a break. With healthy (and not so healthy) grab-and-go options, our continuous refreshment breaks keep your attendees focused and satisfied. Daily selections include items such as fresh cheeses, fruits, granola bars, and, yes, cookies and brownies. We also provide soft drinks, coffee, juices, and teas from the Dominion Tea Company and other local sources.
Our culinary team partnered with team-building specialists to bring one-of-a-kind group experiences to The National. From cooking classes, wine seminars, and pairings to mixology classes and wine or spirit tastings, every activity is designed to delight your senses and build stronger bonds among team members.
