Washington, DC CHRO Executive Summit 2026 — Hotels Near the Venue

The Washington, DC CHRO Executive Summit is a by-invitation, one-day gathering of Chief Human Resources Officers and senior HR leaders from the region's largest employers. Hosted by the Gartner C-Level Communities (formerly Evanta), the program is built by and for HR executives and focuses on peer-driven discussion rather than vendor pitches. Sessions at the summit address the issues shaping the modern HR agenda, from talent and workforce planning to leadership development, culture, and the strategic role of the CHRO in the C-suite. Attendees take part in moderated roundtables, executive workshops and networking breaks designed to encourage the exchange of real-world practices among peers. The 2026 edition takes place on November 18 in Arlington, Virginia, directly across the Potomac from downtown Washington, DC. The convenient location puts the venue within easy reach of DC's hotel districts, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the region's business hubs. Attendance is reserved for qualified HR executives; registration is handled through the Gartner C-Level Communities calendar.
