Location

Join us as we head to Norfolk, Virginia in February 2025! Norfolk is known as the world's largest naval base, but it's also an eclectic, vibrant, art-filled city that serves as the curltural, financial, and entertainment heart of Coastal Virginia. Getting to Norfolk is easy, as it is centrally located on the Mid-Atlantic coastline and within a day's drive of half of the U.S. population. With mild weather even in the late winter, temperatures average from 51 to 68 degrees.

Our conference will be held at Hilton Norfolk The Main, which is minutes from the Norfolk Amtrak Train Station and less than 20 minutes from the Norfolk International Airport.

Featuring views of the Elizabeth River and a short walk to the waterside, The Main is Downtown Norfolk’s newest upscale hotel. From the hotel, you can walk to cultural attractions and more than 50 restaurants. It also also features a rooftop garden bar, curated art throughout the hotel, an indoor pool, and cutting-edge built-in technology.
