Where is Conference and Mentoring Program (CAMP) 2025? CAMP 2025 will be held September 5-7 at The Royal Sonesta Hotel, located at 2121 P Street NW, Washington, DC 20037 in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. The hotel is centrally located in a vibrant area near convenient public transportation access, restaurants, coffee shops, a community park, and more.

The CAMP Site Selection Committee chose Washington D.C. based on feedback from members urging a balance between an urban setting allowing easier travel with access to a get-away-from-it-all vibe. The committee also took into account the venue’s capacity, support for conferences, cost and central location.
