The National League for Nursing brings the NLN Education Summit 2026 to Washington, D.C., September 23–25. Official NLN pages list the meeting at the Washington Hilton. The 2026 theme is Beyond the Storm: Reshaping Resilience and Recovery. If you are a nurse educator traveling for sessions and networking, this guide sticks to confirmed facts and a practical Kalorama overnight.
Confirmed event facts
- What: NLN Education Summit 2026
- When: September 23–25, 2026
- Where: Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC
- Organizer: National League for Nursing — Education Summit 2026
- Hotel / room block: summit.nln.org/hotel — Washington Hilton; NLN notes the room block sold out for key nights and lists walking-distance alternatives (NLN unaffiliated)
When the official Hilton block is sold out, overflow lodging one block away becomes useful for educators who still want to walk to morning sessions.
Getting from American Guest House to the Washington Hilton
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.
We are one block from the Washington Hilton — about a 2-minute walk to the Connecticut Avenue entrance. You do not need Metro for the Summit venue itself. Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) is a 7–10 minute walk if you also have meetings elsewhere in the city.
Breakfast, check-in, parking
- 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 have no on-site parking lot. Street parking nearby is often 2-hour residential. Use SpotHero or paid lots/garages.
Early Summit mornings make the breakfast-rate choice worth reading before you book. If your first session starts early, confirm whether your rate includes breakfast and leave buffer for the short walk to the Hilton.
Why nurse educators stay in Kalorama
Summit weeks concentrate traffic on Connecticut Avenue. A historic bed and breakfast with 11 ensuite rooms in an 1893 house keeps evenings quieter while still putting you a block from the host hotel. Colleagues who only need one or two nights can use the same pocket without changing neighborhoods mid-meeting.
Book your NLN Summit stay
Rooms near the Washington Hilton tighten when a national nursing education meeting lands in late September — especially when the official block is sold out.
