+DevOpsDays DC 2016 will be held at [The United States Patent and Trademark
+Office](http://www.uspto.gov/)'s Madison Auditorium at 600 Dulany Street,
+Alexandria, Virginia, just outside the District (but inside the Beltway!) Please
+see [USPTO's directions
+page](http://www.uspto.gov/about/contacts/locations/directions.jsp) for driving
+directions and parking information.
+
+
+We recommend the [Westin](https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/events/start.action?id=1604145506&key=15F5399A), just a few
+blocks from the USPTO. Reserve your room in the <strong>DevOpsDays Room Block</strong> for 
+$249 per night by May 15.

+
+DC and Northern Virginia traffic is consistently rated among the worst in the
+nation, so we recommend that you do not drive, especially if you are visiting
+from out of town. Instead, take [Metro](http://www.wmata.com/) to the event.
+USPTO is located a few blocks from the [King Street/Old
+Town](http://www.wmata.com/rail/station_detail.cfm?station_id=48) station, which
+is served by Blue and Yellow line trains. It's also a short ride from [National
+Airport (DCA)](http://www.flyreagan.com/dca/reagan-national-airport), our
+recommended airport for visitors from out of town. If you're arriving at Dulles
+(IAD), Baltimore (BWI), or Amtrak's Union Station, Metro's [trip
+planner](http://wmata.com/rider_tools/tripplanner/tripplanner_form_solo.cfm) can
+help you get to the event.

-DevOpsDays is a self-organizing conference for practitioners that depends on sponsorships. We do not have vendor booths, sell product presentations, or distribute attendee contact lists. Sponsors have the opportunity to have short elevator pitches during the program and will get recognition on the website and social media before, during and after the event. Sponsors are encouraged to represent themselves by actively participating and engaging with the attendees as peers. Any attendee also has the opportunity to demo products/projects as part of an open space session.
-<br>
-Gold sponsors get a full table and Silver sponsors a shared table where they can interact with those interested to come visit during breaks. All attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want during the open spaces, but this is a community-focused conference, so heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on the attendees.
-<br>
-The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.

+  Gold sponsors do get a table they can hang out at and put materials on for interested people to come visit during breaks, and of course all attendees are welcome to propose any subject they want during the open spaces, but this is not 'that kind of conference' and heavy marketing will probably work against you when trying to make a good impression on the attendees. The best thing to do is send engineers to interact with the experts at DevOpsDays on their own terms.
