Washington DC is home to more associations, nonprofits, and trade organizations than any other city in the world. Thousands of professional societies, industry groups, and advocacy organizations hold their annual meetings, congressional briefings, and leadership conferences in the DC area each year — making it the single most important market for association event AV production in the United States.
DC Event Fact
Washington DC and the broader National Capital Region host over 200 major association events each year. The DC area is headquarters to more than 1,800 associations, nonprofits, and lobbying organizations. Annual meeting season peaks in spring and fall when associations bring members to lobby their representatives on Capitol Hill.

2.3 million square feet of total space with 703,000 sq ft of contiguous exhibit space in the heart of DC. The primary venue for large association conventions, trade shows, and national conferences. PCG produces general sessions, exhibit hall systems, and breakout room AV throughout the building.
Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
Located at National Harbor, MD (20 minutes from DC), with 470,000 sq ft of event space under one roof.

Washington DC Event Production FAQs
Does PCG travel to Washington DC for association events?
Yes. PCG is a national event production company that travels to Washington DC for association annual meetings, advocacy conferences, and corporate events. We have experience with DC venues from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center to Capitol Hill briefing rooms. Travel costs are included in our project proposals.
Can you provide AV for both the main convention and off-site receptions in DC?
Yes. Many DC association events include main conference sessions at the convention center or hotel, plus off-site Capitol Hill receptions, museum dinners, or evening gala events. PCG coordinates AV across all venues, with equipment repositioned as needed throughout your event week.
Can we use PCG at the Gaylord National instead of their in-house AV?
Yes — and many associations do. Gaylord National, like most large convention hotels, allows independent AV companies to bring in supplemental or replacement equipment under specific conditions. PCG handles all vendor compliance paperwork and coordination with the property. Clients typically save 30 to 50 percent versus in-house Gaylord AV pricing.
Can you stream our DC annual meeting to members nationally?
Absolutely. PCG provides broadcast-quality hybrid livestream production for association events, including multi-camera general session coverage, integrated slides, speaker webcam feeds for remote presenters, and moderated virtual attendee Q&A. We deliver to Zoom, Teams, YouTube Live, or your association's custom platform.
