Washington Center

Events

The UC Washington Center is an ideal venue to hold your next lunch symposium, week long conference or evening reception. The Center has over 6,000 feet of meeting space and is located in the heart of downtown, near 2 metro/bus lines and a short walk from Dupont Circle and the White House.

The UC Washington Center strives to provide an atmosphere that will exemplify its unique standing as a live-learn facility of the University in our nation’s capitol. The expectation is that events at the Center will enhance the missions of the University of California and provide the UC and greater academic, government and policy communities with a forum in which to host their activities.
