    Metrorail (subway) - short downtown hop

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forDowntown or Penn Quarter hotel to Mount Vernon Square/7th Street-Convention Center

    Metrorail is distance-based; short downtown trips sit at the low end of the band. Contactless bank cards and mobile wallets work at the fare gates.

    Metrobus

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forDowntown and Capitol Hill bus corridors to the convention district

    Metrobus fills gaps where Metrorail stations are distant from a hotel; routes and frequencies change, so check WMATA's trip planner on the day.

    Metrorail (subway) - Silver Line from IAD

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forWashington Dulles International Airport to downtown Washington, with a change at Metro Center

    The Silver Line carries passengers from Dulles into the city in about 50-60 minutes; allow extra time with luggage and a transfer.

    Taxi - metered from DCA

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forRonald Reagan Washington National Airport to downtown hotels and the convention district

    Taxis are metered in Washington and the airport rank is outside baggage claim; rideshare pickup points are signposted separately.

    Rideshare - downtown hop

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forDowntown Washington hotel to the convention district

    Uber and Lyft both operate in Washington; demand spikes around the opening morning and late-afternoon sessions, so allow a buffer.

    Rideshare - long transfer from IAD

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forWashington Dulles International Airport to downtown Washington hotels

    A car is faster than rail for groups of two or more with luggage, but the Dulles access road can be slow in the weekday morning peak.

    MARC or Amtrak from BWI

    Estimated costCost TBA

    Weather

    Early May in Washington, DC is mild late spring: daytime highs typically around 22-26 C (72-79 F), overnight lows around 13-16 C (55-61 F), and roughly nine to eleven rain days across a typical May, often as short showers or thunderstorms rather than all-day rain. Humidity starts to climb but is usually moderate. Pack a light layer for air-conditioned session rooms, a compact umbrella for the walk between hotels and the venue, and comfortable shoes for a large convention floor. Check a forecast in the final 72 hours, since spring patterns in the mid-Atlantic can swing by several degrees.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Washington, DC has strong 5G and LTE coverage across downtown and the convention district, and most hotels and the venue provide Wi-Fi, though large meeting halls can be congested during peak sessions. International visitors should arrange a US eSIM or travel SIM before arrival or at the airport, and check that their handset supports US bands. US mains power is 120 V at 60 Hz with Type A and Type B plugs, so travellers from Europe, the UK or Asia need a voltage-compatible adapter, not just a plug adaptor, for high-draw devices. Keep a backup hotspot for device demos and use eduroam or venue Wi-Fi with a VPN for sensitive institutional logins.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business dress

    Business casual is the default at neurology scientific meetings in Washington, with a jacket usual for speakers, course faculty and industry symposia. Comfortable shoes matter because the venue is large and sessions are spread across halls.

    Arrival and badging

    Arrive early on the opening morning for badge pickup, and carry photo ID matching your registration name. Security checks are routine at large US venues, so allow time for bag screening at the entrance.

    Tipping

    Tipping is expected in US restaurants, bars and taxis: 15-20 percent on sit-down meals, a dollar or two per drink at the bar, and 15-20 percent on metered taxi or rideshare fares. Hotel housekeeping usually expects a few dollars per night.

    Metro etiquette

    On Metrorail, stand to the right on escalators, let passengers off before boarding, and keep bags clear of the doors. Eating and drinking are not allowed on trains and buses. Contactless bank cards or a SmarTrip card are the simplest way to pay.

    Local conversation

    Washington is a transient, professional city where opening with your institution and specialty works well. Small talk about the Smithsonian museums, the National Mall or the Potomac waterfront is safe ground; federal politics is best avoided in exhibition-hall conversations unless the other person raises it.

    Safety and practicalities

    Downtown Washington is generally walkable, but stay aware after dark and keep to lit, busy streets. Many federal buildings require security screening and are closed to casual visitors; carry ID. Emergency number is 911.

    Accessibility

    US venues are built to ADA standards with step-free access, lifts and accessible restrooms, and downtown Metrorail stations have lifts, though outages happen. Ask the venue or the AAN in advance about seating, captioning or assistance for specific sessions.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: IAD

    Book early: 1-5 May 2027 falls in Washington's busy spring conference and tourism season, and downtown hotel rates climb with citywide events. Compare DCA first for convenience, IAD for long-haul international non-stops, and BWI as a lower-cost domestic alternative. Allow at least a 90-minute buffer between landing at IAD or BWI and your first session, and avoid tight same-day connections into DCA if you are flying from outside the US. Fares in the samples on this page are approximate economy bands and should be confirmed against live inventory; they are not organiser-negotiated rates.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD): Approx. 40-60 minutes by car or rideshare; about 50-60 minutes by Metrorail Silver Line; Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI): Approx. 45-70 minutes by car; roughly 60-75 minutes via MARC or Amtrak to Union Station plus Metro. Allow road or rail time to ; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near : Alexandria, Virginia (metro DC area): Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Alexandria; Downtown / Mount Vernon Square, connected to the convention center: Marriott Marquis Washington, DC.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across Washington, DC, with designated pickup zones at DCA, IAD and the convention district. Expect roughly USD 12-22 for a downtown hotel-to-venue trip outside surge pricing and USD 25-35 from DCA, while Dulles transfers typically run USD 60-85. Demand spikes on the opening morning and after the last afternoon sessions, so request a car 15 minutes earlier than you think you need it or walk to a larger pickup point away from the venue doors.

    Public transit: Washington is served by WMATA's Metrorail network of six lines plus the Metrobus system. The convention district is served by the Green and Yellow lines at Mount Vernon Square/7th Street-Convention Center, with Blue, Orange and Silver line stations a short walk away in the downtown core. Fares are distance-based, roughly USD 2.25-6.75 per Metrorail journey, and USD 2.25 flat on Metrobus; tap a contactless bank card, mobile wallet or SmarTrip card at the gates. Trains run frequently on weekdays but service patterns change at weekends and during maintenance, so check WMATA's trip planner the day before you travel.

    Parking: Driving to the convention district is possible but expensive. Public garages around Mount Vernon Square and Penn Quarter typically charge about USD 25-40 per day for self-parking, with event-day premiums when the city hosts multiple large conventions. Pre-book a space if you plan to drive, because street meter spots are limited, enforced and time-capped. Hotel parking downtown is usually higher than public garages. If your hotel is outside DC, park at a Metrorail station with a lot and take the train in, or use the Beltway park-and-ride options and a commuter bus.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: May 2027 - the meeting window is 1-5 May, early in the month when Washington is in late spring

    Temperature: Typical early-May range: daytime highs around 22-26 C (72-79 F), overnight lows around 13-16 C (55-61 F). Exact figures for 1-5 May 2027 were not captured, so check a forecast within 72 hours of travel.

    Seasonality: Spring is showery in Washington, with roughly nine to eleven rain days across a typical May, often as brief afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Humidity is moderate but rising, and the occasional warm spike can push temperatures close to 30 C (86 F). Plan indoor backups for walking routes and keep sessions and museum visits flexible on wet afternoons.

    Packing: Pack light layers rather than a heavy coat: a breathable shirt or blouse, a light jacket for air-conditioned session rooms and cooler evenings, and a compact umbrella or rain shell. Bring comfortable walking shoes for the venue floor and the Metro, a small daypack, a refillable water bottle and a Type A/B plug adapter if your devices use another standard. A light scarf or wrap helps in heavily air-conditioned halls.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is the AAN Annual Meeting in 2027?
    The 2027 American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting is scheduled for 1-5 May 2027 in Washington, DC, with the programme running across the city's convention district. Confirm the final dates, venue address and daily timetable on aan.com before booking non-refundable travel.
    Who attends the AAN Annual Meeting?
    Attendees are practising neurologists and subspecialists, neurology residents and fellows, advanced practice providers, neuroscientists, medical students and practice administrators, with a large international contingent from academic centres and health systems.
    Can non-members of the AAN register?
    Non-members, including international neurologists, allied health professionals and industry representatives, generally register at published non-member rates. Registration categories and any membership discount are listed on aan.com, so check the current fee table before you commit.
    Do sessions carry CME credit?
    AAN Annual Meeting education is typically accredited for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit and often mapped to ABPN MOC self-assessment. Each session's credit statement states the maximum credits available, and you must scan in or log attendance to claim them.
    How do I submit an abstract or apply to present?
    Abstract submission runs through the AAN's online submission portal with published opening and closing dates for late-breaking and regular categories. Acceptance notifications, presentation format and presenter registration obligations are confirmed by email and in the submission guidelines.
    Is there an exhibition hall at the Annual Meeting?
    Yes, the meeting includes an industry exhibition alongside the scientific programme, where pharmaceutical, device, diagnostics and digital-health companies meet neurologists and practice decision makers. Exhibition-only or exhibit-hall passes depend on the current registration policy.
    Which airport should international attendees fly into?
    Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) is closest to downtown and the convention district and is served directly by Metrorail. Washington Dulles (IAD) handles most long-haul international arrivals and connects to the city on the Silver Line, while Baltimore/Washington (BWI) is a lower-cost alternative with rail links to Union Station.
    How do I get from the airport to the convention district?
    From DCA, take Metrorail directly into downtown in roughly 20 minutes, or a taxi or rideshare in 10-20 minutes depending on traffic. From IAD, the Silver Line runs to downtown in about 50-60 minutes, with taxi and rideshare journeys typically 40-60 minutes. From BWI, MARC or Amtrak to Union Station plus a short Metro or rideshare leg is the usual route.
    Where should I stay for the meeting?
    Hotels in the convention centre district, Penn Quarter and downtown put you within walking distance of sessions; Capitol Hill and Navy Yard are a short Metro ride away, and Alexandria or the Beltway corridor is cheaper but adds 20-40 minutes of commuting. Book early because Washington in early May is a busy convention and tourism period.
    Do I need a visa to attend from outside the United States?
    Visa-waiver programme nationals can usually travel on an ESTA approval obtained online before departure, while other attendees need a B-1 business visitor visa from a US embassy or consulate. Apply well ahead of the meeting and carry your registration confirmation and, where offered, an organiser invitation letter.
    What is the dress code?
    Business casual is the norm, with a jacket common for speakers, course faculty and industry symposia. Comfortable shoes matter, since the venue is large and you will walk between session rooms and the exhibition hall.
    What will the weather be like in Washington in early May?
    Early May in Washington is mild late spring, with daytime highs typically around 22-26 C (72-79 F), overnight lows near 13-16 C (55-61 F) and a realistic chance of showery days. Pack a light layer and a compact umbrella.
    Is the venue accessible for wheelchair users and attendees with mobility needs?
    Washington convention venues are built to ADA standards with step-free entrances, lifts and accessible restrooms, and Metrorail stations on the downtown lines have lifts, though outages occur. Contact the AAN in advance about specific seating, captioning or assistance requirements so arrangements can be made.
    Can I bring a guest or family member?
    Guest and accompanying-person policies vary by registration category and typically exclude access to CME sessions and the exhibition floor unless a guest pass is purchased. Check the guest policy on aan.com before adding anyone to your booking.
