Experience POWER 2026 runs September 28-30 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, with co-located Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX) September 30-October 1. Official POWER Magazine / Access Intelligence pages name the Omni Shoreham at 2500 Calvert Street NW and list combined POWER Pass+ options covering both programs. If you would rather stay outside the convention hotel, American Guest House is about a mile away — a practical Omni Shoreham Kalorama base.

Omni Shoreham Kalorama transit
American Guest House is at 2005 Columbia Road NW, Washington, DC 20009, in Kalorama (Sheridan-Kalorama). Adams Morgan restaurants are nearby. The house is in Kalorama.
- Walk (about 1 mile / about 20 minutes) via Connecticut Avenue toward Calvert Street / Woodley Park.
- Metro: Walk 7-10 minutes to Dupont Circle (Red Line), ride one stop to Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan, then walk to the Omni.
- We are one block from the Washington Hilton (about a 2-minute walk) if your itinerary also includes Hilton-corridor meetings.
Rideshare is useful for early networking breakfasts or late evening wrap sessions. Leave buffer on Wednesday, September 30, if you are switching from Experience POWER programming into DPX the same day.
Why utility and data-center teams stay near Dupont / Kalorama
Omni Shoreham industry weeks fill Woodley Park rooms. Staying in Kalorama keeps evenings quieter while remaining walkable or one Metro stop from Calvert Street.
We are a historic bed and breakfast in an 1893 house with 11 ensuite rooms. That layout works for multi-day POWER Pass+ travelers who need Sunday or Monday arrival through Thursday departure without living inside the host hotel all week.
Breakfast, check-in, parking (read carefully)
- Breakfast is included on the Standard Rate and Last Minute Deal only. It is not included on every rate.
- Check-in is 4pm-10pm. You may leave luggage from 10am.
- We do not offer parking. There is no on-site lot. Nearby street parking is often 2-hour residential. Use SpotHero or paid lots/garages. Full details: map, directions, and parking.
Official conference meals at the Omni (when included with your pass) are separate from B&B breakfast. Match your rate type to the live agenda the night before. House policies: FAQ.
POWER-week tips from the house
- Confirm whether you hold an Experience POWER pass, a DPX pass, or combined POWER Pass+. Your overnight span changes with that choice.
- If the Omni group block is closed after the September 4 deadline, book a nearby Kalorama overnight early rather than waiting on sold-out host-hotel pages.
- Wednesday, September 30, is the overlap day. Build extra transit time if you bounce between programs.
- Pack light for walking or one-stop Red Line days.
- Book direct when you can: Check Rates & Availability.
Pass types and nights to hold
Use the organizer registration site to confirm which pass you bought, then hold nights to match:
- Experience POWER only: often Sunday or Monday through Wednesday.
- DPX only: often Tuesday or Wednesday through Thursday.
- POWER Pass+: commonly Sunday or Monday through Thursday to cover both programs.
Do not invent remaining Omni group-room counts after the September 4 booking deadline. If the host hotel page shows sold out or closed block language, a Kalorama overflow stay is the practical next step.
What a combined POWER + DPX week means for lodging
Experience POWER alone often means Sunday or Monday arrival through Wednesday. DPX alone often means Tuesday or Wednesday arrival through Thursday. POWER Pass+ travelers commonly need coverage across September 28-October 1. That longer window is why Northwest DC rooms tighten when the Omni block softens.
If you hold the combined pass, an Omni Shoreham Kalorama base keeps evenings quieter while still putting the Omni within a walk or one Red Line stop. Colleagues who only need DPX nights can use the same house without changing neighborhoods mid-week.
We do not invent session start times beyond what POWER Magazine publishes. Read the live agenda the night before, then set alarms with walk or Metro buffer built in. Early networking breakfasts are when luggage drop from 10am and a clear breakfast-rate choice matter most.
If your group includes colleagues not on the show floor, Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan (nearby, not our home neighborhood) cover coffee and dinner without another long ride across town.
Nearby after sessions
Woodley Park puts Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo close to the Omni. From American Guest House, Dupont Circle covers coffee and casual dinner within a short walk. Adams Morgan is nearby for more late options.
Book your POWER week stay
Utility and data-center conference weeks fill Woodley Park rooms. An Omni Shoreham Kalorama historic B&B with 11 ensuite rooms in an 1893 house keeps evenings quieter while remaining walkable or one Metro stop from the Omni.
