BC in DC

BCinDC is pleased to announce that we will be celebrating BookCrossing’s 10th birthday at the 2011 Anniversary Convention in Washington DC, the capital of the United States!

There are many amenities to having the Convention in the DC area. We have 3 major airports that are located in this area- Reagan National, Dulles, and Baltimore-BWI. We also have an extensive Metro system for easy travel about the area, and it hooks up to Amtrak for some leisurely travel from many parts of the USA. The greatest thing about DC is that there are so many things to do for FREE! Many museums and memorials have free admission and there are countless opportunities for themed releases in areas that are frequented by tourists and vast amounts of people on a daily basis. Not to mention we have the Library of Congress! This is most assuredly on our planned list of places to contact for a tour.

As convention organizers, BC in DC have a bunch of scheduled events already planned out. We would provide a variety of opportunities for groups to go out and do things, you’ll get locals to be your “tour guides”, and if you are bringing family that aren’t quite into BookCrossing the choices abound for them to do other things.

We also understand that many people are on a budget and this will be topmost on the list of concerns for our planning committee. We wish to give the attendees choices about where to stay that fits each budget and keep costs down for all while still finding a location that just plain rocks for all of our socialization needs.
