Book Launch Celebration - Essential Details

The Unexpected Leader Book Launch Celebration

Here are your weekend details!

Event Location

The book launch celebration will take place at Mindspace DC, located at 1301 K. St. NW, Washington DC, 20005 beginning at 2pm. I would suggest getting there on time to enjoy all festivities.

Bring your ID with you for check in.

We will operate as safely as possible an in accordance with all COVID-19 protocol.

Weekend Agenda

While the book launch is on Saturday, September 10th, we expect several people to travel in, so we want to share some other activities occurring throughout the weekend:

Friday - 6pm - Casual Happy Hour - Marriot Marquis Lobby - 901 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001
Saturday - 2pm - Book Launch Celebration - 1301 K. St. NW. 3rd Floor, Washington DC, 20005
Saturday - 7pm - After Book Meet Up - Surprise Location
Sunday - No formal activities planned - Enjoy the DMV area!

Flight Considerations

Flights are mostly moderately priced from the majority of the locations that you may be flying in from. I do recommend securing your flight as soon as possible, to take advantage of this.

The most convenient airports to fly into in recommended order are:

DCA - very close proximity to book activities
BWI - an estimated 45 minute drive from book activities

Ground Transportation

You can conveniently get around DC through shared transportation or even the DC Metro.

Hotel Recommendations

While staying anywhere in downtown DC will be in a reasonable proximity to book activities, there are a few recommended options that I am presenting:

Marriot Marquis (this is where I'm staying)
Renaissance Washington
Washington Marriot at Metro Center

Parking - Book Launch Location

You have two options for parking:

Street Parking
Underground Building Parking - There is parking conveniently located underneath the building. You enter the parking to the right of the building. Parking is $10.00. Once you exit your vehicle, proceed to the elevator bank area. Press the intercom button and security will let you in. Once in the elevator, proceed to the main floor and approach the security desk with your ID.

** If you are taking a ride share service or the Metro, just walk through the front doors! **

Guest Inquiries

Because of the nature of this event, everyone will need their very own registration. We are closely monitoring registrations for both a comfortable experience and in the best interest of health and safety. If there is someone that you are hoping can also attend, please send an email to, [email protected] to inquire.
