Book Your Room - U2FP's Annual Symposium

Matthew Rodreick

Preparations are in full swing for U2FP’s 20th Annual Science & Advocacy Symposium, happening February 15 - 17, 2026 in Arlington, Virginia - just outside of Washington DC, close to Reagan National Airport. We’ve got a great agenda taking shape as we line up our slate of top-tier presenters and advocates. We’ll be sharing more details about our vision and hopes for this one-of-a-kind event in the coming weeks.

We’re also deep into the planning process for our Roll on the Capital (Tuesday, February 17th), where we’ll kick off our campaign for a National SCI Research funding bill.

Our conference hotel, the Renaissance + Residence Inn Capital View hotel, is now open for reservations. Secure your spot and lock in our special group rate starting at just $139/night. Don’t wait - book your room now!
 

Please note: our block includes rooms at the Residence Inn Arlington Capital View hotel, which is directly connected to our conference hotel. You'll be prompted to choose either the Renaissance or Residence Inn when using the booking link.

Watch your inbox for email updates on Registration opening, Agenda highlights, details on the Capital Roll and more! Registration will open in later this mont, so plan accordingly.

This year’s Symposium wouldn't be happening without the tremendous support of our title sponsor, The Kennedy Krieger Institute.

We have a growing list of sponsors who have already committed to joining us for this important gathering, and you can join them.  
 

Sam Troyer, Jared Hogg, Jared Potter and Walt Schumacher are participating in adaptations and interventions that are making a difference in their day to day lives - you'll hear each of their stories soon!
