I enjoyed the program for AR 2010 very much,........the location not so much.
Please consider having AR 2012 in Washington D.C., instead of Alexandria.
Alexandria is convenient for people living in the Bethesda and Arlington area, but it is quite inconvenient for locals living beyond those points. I missed a lot of the conference getting too and from the Hilton. That would have been worse if I took the metro, even/especially if I was in DC.
I heard a lot of out-of-towners complaining about the location too.
They thought it was really going to be in Washington D.C. because of the advertisements. They were disappointed to find out that it was a hassle to use the public transportation to get into Washington D.C........as well as time consuming.
Given the costs of traveling, they wanted to really make the most of their money and see a bit of DC before they left.
They were also motivated to leave the conference a lot given that dinners cost $18 and lunches $10 - $15.
Great conference, but the location could be improved.

I agree, furthermore this hotel did not seem very willing to accommodate vegans in the area of cruelty free toiletries and such. The shampoos and like may have been non tested on animals, just like any other ambiguous product may not have been tested on animals.(meaning its likely to have been tested) Had anyone else noticed that the comforter and pillows of the hotel had feathers?
That said, the hot lunch seemed much better then it did last year, but it was too expensive and I couldn't buy any.
