FAQ
- Dress Code: GBA events are unique in that we ask attendees to follow a dress code. (This will benefit you greatly in networking with our distinguished audience). We will also have media teams taking videos, interviewing attendees for podcasts, and photographing attendees for future GBA promotions. Business attire is required. Jeans are not appropriate. Feel free to ask the photographers to take your picture. All photos will be emailed to attendees via a link a week or so after the event.
- Lost & Found: All found items will be held at the GBA Member Services table. Valuables will be locked in a secure location. Please see the member services representative (Kyle) for assistance.
- Meals: Continental breakfast will be served between 9:00 AM & 9:50 AM on both days of the conference. This year, lunch will also be provided for all attendees. Snacks will be served in the afternoon. Coffee, tea, sodas, and water will be available all day.
- Our Venue: This event will be held at at 1777 F. St. NW., Washington, DC.
