DISCLOSURE

Registration is encouraged and helps us plan for attendance, but it does not guarantee entry or reserve a seat. Capacity in the Kennedy Caucus Room is limited, and we expect significant demand.

We recommend arriving early to improve your chances of getting in.

The Forum takes place in the Kennedy Caucus Room (Room 325), located on the third floor of the Russell Senate Office Building.

2 Constitution Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002

The main public entrance is on Constitution Avenue at First Street NE. An accessible entrance is available on the Delaware Avenue side at ground level. All entrances require security screening, including metal detectors and bag X-ray, similar to airport security. Please bring a valid government-issued photo ID.

Once inside, take the elevator or stairs to the third floor and follow signage to Room 325.

The nearest Metro station is Union Station (Red Line). Capitol South (Blue/Orange/Silver Lines) is also within walking distance.

The day-of schedule is as follows:

• 7:00 a.m.Building opens
• 8:30 a.m.Doors open
• 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.Program

We recommend arriving when doors open at 8:30 a.m. to secure seating before the program begins.

When you arrive at the Russell Senate Office Building, there will be a check-in table where attendees can line up for entry. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis based on physical arrival, not the order in which you registered online.

As space permits, we will continue to admit attendees on an ongoing basis throughout the day. However, capacity is limited by the size of the Kennedy Caucus Room, and entry cannot be guaranteed regardless of registration.

Arriving early is the best way to secure a seat.

Coffee, water, sodas, and light breakfast items will be available for attendees. Lunch will not be provided. There will be a one-hour lunch break during the late morning to early afternoon portion of the program.

We expect significant interest in the Forum, and capacity in the Kennedy Caucus Room is limited. Because entry is on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be guaranteed, please plan accordingly before booking travel. Registering does not reserve a seat.

You may leave the building during breaks, but re-entry is subject to the same first-come, first-served capacity limits. If the room is full when you return, you may need to wait until a seat becomes available.

You will need to pass through security screening each time you re-enter the building.
