Q: Where should I stay?

As far as lodging, there are plenty of hotels 5-10 mins away from the venue: Hilton Garden Inn Arlington Shirlington; Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington Courthouse; Hyatt Place Arlington/Courthouse Plaza

Q: What should I bring to The Planner Social?

Just bring yourself, a good attitude, your planner/ journal, and your ID! That is all that is required. Most planner event goers like to bring swaps, contact cards, tablemate gifts, money to purchase vendor items. However these are all optional!

Q: What are contact cards & swaps?

Contacts Cards: A small business card or sticker sheet that has your name, picture of you, social media info, and sometimes a QR code to give to new friends to connect during and after the event. Swaps: A small gift usually given with contact cards to new friends you wish to connect with. Ex: candy

Q: What are tablemate gifts?

Tablemate gifts: A gift given to the group of individuals sitting at your table to connect with further. It is usually a bigger gift than a swap since it is for a fewer amount of people. Ex: tote bags, pencil pouches, tumblers, mugs, sticker kits, snacks, etc.

There will be 72 attendees and 8 attendees per table. I would bring 7 tablemate gifts and for swaps, as many as you reasonably think you would pass out to connect with the other attendees.

There is ample free unrestricted parking on surrounding neighborhood streets.
