Conference Accommodations

EXPERIENCE THE CHARMS OF LEESBURG, VA! Lansdowne Resort and Spa is a sanctuary for golfers, an oasis for productive meetings and the perfect escape for couples and families. Located on 500 beautiful acres overlooking the scenic Potomac River, we offer our guests the opportunity to disconnect from the world and reconnect with themselves. Our AAA Four Diamond award-winning golf resort features 45 holes of challenging championship golf designed by Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones Jr., as well as myriad outdoor activities, a state-of-the-art spa and extensive meeting and dining facilities. We’re just 30 miles outside Washington, D.C. and 12 miles from Washington Dulles International Airport, so we’re easy to get to no matter your starting point.

Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellations will only be considered when received in writing. Due to the current COVID-19 health crisis you may receive a full refund for your conference registration (less a 5% credit card processing fee) for written cancellations received by the Council on or before August 15, 2021. All requests for cancellations and refunds should be emailed to: cdaevents@cdacouncil.org. Registrants who do not show up for the conference – and do not contact the Council (via written correspondence as listed above) prior to the end of the conference – automatically forfeit all registration fees paid unless your inability to contact us was due to a verifiable medical emergency that occurred within one week prior to the start of the conference. In this instance, the postmarked deadline to receive your request for a partial refund is August 25, 2021. Regretfully, no considerations can be made after this date.

Replacement and Transfer

If you are unable to attend for any reason, you can transfer your registration to another person without penalty. Simply email a copy of your registration confirmation, with a letter stating your request along with the contact information (full name, email address and phone number) of the person replacing you to cdaevents@cdacouncil.org.

Mailing Address/ Usage Policy

By submitting your mailing and emailing address during the conference-registration process, you agree that the Council and its conference partners may send you a one-time correspondence of conference-related information regarding the organizations’ participation at the conference. Hefty support is given by sponsors to subsidize the conference and make it possible to bring our members and attendees the latest and most valuable educational information. Your cooperation and support are appreciated.

Conferences and Courtesies

To make the conference experience an enjoyable event for all attendees, please keep the following in mind:

As a courtesy to speakers and other attendees, please refrain from the use of cell phones during presentations. In consideration of all attendees, we ask that you please turn your cell phone to vibrate or off while in meetings.

To maintain and demonstrate professionalism within our industry, conference attire is business casual. Since it is difficult to adjust meeting room temperatures to suit individual preferences, please bring a sweater/jacket or wear layered clothing to ensure your comfort.
