offers the vitality of a big city coupled with the hospitality and charm of a small town. That means conference attendees can enjoy everything from creative dining experiences in chef-owned restaurants to attractions showcasing Virginia’s natural and military he ritage to more than 3,000 years of its maritime history.
Additionally, the Commonwealth’s fifth most populous city is home to 30+ parks, with the crown jewel being Newport News Park — a 7,700-acre oasis that is nine times larger than New York City’s Central Park. Activities there include fishing, boating, archery, hiking, biking, golfing, disc golf, and even a ropes course — a great team-building activity for groups.
