The National Conference Center is located on the North side of U.S. Route 7 (Harry Byrd Hwy) at the intersection of Belmont Ridge Road and Upper Belmont Place, four miles East from Leesburg, Virginia, and 35 miles Northwest of Washington, D.C. All parking is free. If you drive a hybrid vehicle, you’ll enjoy convenient parking in one of the 12 hybrid parking spots near the front entrance of the main building.

If you are flying into Dulles International Airport and do not plan to rent a car (a perfectly feasible choice, since our entire conference will be held at NCC) you can request a conference shuttle, which must be reserved at least three business days before you need it. The shuttle generally takes less than 30 minutes to transport you to NCC, leaves on the hour, and costs $20 each way. Full information on the NCC shuttle.

If you are driving to NCC, perhaps you can provide a ride to another participant. You can offer a ride on our ride share board. Just add your offer on a new line and check existing requests to see if you can help someone.
