2026 Symposium Behind-the-Scenes Tours (October 15, 2026)

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Registration is now open for the Washington DC Symposium's exclusive, behind-the-scenes institution visits on Thursday, October 15!

Instructions:

To sign up, Symposium registrants must have a tour registration code (sent to all Symposium registrants via email).

Click on the Register button (located at the bottom of the left column) to begin the registration process for each tour.

You will register for one tour at a time and may click on the Return to Event Registration on the confirmation page to register for a second tour.

Symposium attendees may sign up for only two tours from the Tour 1-Tour 7 offerings. Each tour can accommodate a limited number of people, and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are attending with another Symposium registrant, you may add them as a guest to each tour registration. If your plans change, the website allows you to cancel a registration and optionally register for a different tour.

A confirmation email will be sent for each tour registration.

Attendees will be responsible for their own transportation in between venues. Click here for a map showing the location of the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill and the locations of the various tours.

Please be sure to leave enough time for travel to each location, and to pick up your Symposium badge at the Hyatt prior to the tours. It will be required to gain entry to all tours and museums.
