Conference Banquet Dinner

You must bring your ticket to the NASM event. You will not be allowed to enter without a ticket!

The traditional conference banquet will be transformed to an evening (see menu) at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) on the National Mall. The buffet style dinner will enable attendees to eat, network, and stroll around and enjoy the many exhibits and activities at the NASM.

ACC attendees and their guests will have exclusive use of the museum for the evening, including free screenings of shows in NASM's IMAX Theater and Planetarium as well as opportunities to try the fun National Mall Ride Simulators and/or Interactive Flight Simulators. While there normally is a charge for the simulators during the regular museum hours, ACC attendees and their guests will be able to try the simulators free of charge at our banquet. Museum docents will also be available throughout the evening to discuss various exhibits with interested attendees.

Attendees will be able to see the following IMAX and Planetarium shows during our conference banquet evening on June 18. Again, while there normally is a charge for these shows during the regular museum hours, the shows are free for our attendees and their guests at our conference banquet.

  • 7:45 p.m.: The Stars Tonight, if NASM staff are available (otherwise, Dynamic Earth will be shown)
  • 8:30 p.m.: Undiscovered Worlds

NASM is about 1 mile (about 8 blocks) south of the conference hotel. It is a pleasant walk through the heart of the city. Shuttle buses will also be available. They will run continuously between the hotel and the museum, starting from 6:30pm until 10:30pm. At the conference hotel, the shuttle bus pick-up location is on the K Street side of the hotel. At the NASM, attendees are welcome to use both entrances: Independence Ave at Sixth Street and Jefferson Drive on the Mall.

A banquet ticket is included with the registration packets for Member, Non-Member, and Student/Retiree registrants. Additional conference banquet tickets can also be purchased for $75 each. Children under 4 are free.
