Flights
Attendees are assured an outstanding event in Baltimore, beginning with the ease of travel. The city's geographical location makes it an ideal and easy gateway for both national and international access. Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) provides direct, non-stop air service to more than 90 U.S. domestic and international destinations, allowing direct connections to Europe and Asia.
- Taxis, shuttles, and ride-share—Uber and Lyft—all serve BWI.
- Rail: There is a train station located at the airport for travelers taking the commuter rail service (MARC) or for those who wish to take Amtrak.
- Light Rail: Baltimore’s light rail system also services the airport and can take you on a route passing through downtown Baltimore on its way north to Hunt Valley.
Attendees may also consider flying into Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) or Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), both of which are around a 2-hour drive from the city of Baltimore.
Train
Baltimore has two Amtrak stations: BWI Airport Station near the airport of the same name and one downtown, Baltimore Pennsylvania Station.
Baltimore’s Pennsylvania Station is a popular stop on Amtrak’s busy Northeast corridor, located less than 2 miles from the Inner Harbor, with easy travel to and from New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, and more. You can also catch a train on the commuter rail service to Washington, D.C. Tickets are available inside the station or on self-serve kiosks.
Parking
If you're driving to the conference, there are plenty of parking options in Baltimore. Street parking may be available, but be sure to double-check nearby signs for restrictions or costs. Reserve a spot in a garage or lot ahead of time with online services like SpotHero (use code VISITBAL for 10% off for new SpotHero users).
The Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel also has a parking garage available. Click here for details on nearby hotel parking garage rates.
Visa
Apply early for your travel visa, if needed: the U.S. State Department advises that an application for a temporary visa to enter the United States requires a longer processing time than in past years. The decision to grant visas belongs solely to the embassy or consulate. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html
