The closing plenary session of the Consumer Voice Conference will be held Wednesday, November 8 from 10:00am-12:00pm in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill. The plenary session will include two expert panels of presenters discussing the quality of long-term care 30 years after the passage of the Nursing Home Reform Law. Members of Congress and their staff are also invited to the event.
After the event is a great time to visit your member of Congress. You should make an appointment in advance to make sure your Senator or Congressman, or a member of their staff, are available to meet with you. We would suggest calling a couple weeks before you come to DC to ask for an appointment.
To help you prepare for meeting with your member of Congress, we are holding a planning session during the conference on Tuesday, November 7 from 4:15-5:15pm. We will offer suggestions for talking to your legislator, preparing talking points, and answer any questions. We will also have available packets of information you can use during your visit.

Do not wait! A block of rooms have been reserved for November 5, 2017 - November 7, 2017. The special room rate will be available until October 10th, or until the group block is sold-out, whichever comes first. Rooms are available for $209/night. All rooms in the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel have been booked. Additional rooms are available in the Residence Inn Arlington Capital View which is located right next to the Renaissance and is connected via inside hallway. Reservations at the Residence Inn can be made by calling (703) 415-1300. Please refer to the "Consumer Voice Overflow" room block to book your room - a credit card hold or deposit is required at booking. You can reserve online here.

Interested in bringing a group of people to the annual conference? Take advantage of our group discounts! Start planning for your group now.
Contact us (info@theconsumervoice.org) and we will help you register your group. Your application for discounts must be made prior to registration, so start forming your group today!
Here are the discounts that apply to group registrations:
Please note the following:
1. You must apply to receive a group discount prior to registering anyone in your group.
Send the list of individuals you would like to include in your group as well as the name of your group to info@theconsumervoice.org, and we will send you the applicable group rate code to use during registration. Please also let us know whether you would like the entire group to be included on a single invoice or billed separately. Any additional individuals added to your group after you receive your group rate code can register using the same discount. We will not issue a new discount code after your initial group rate approval even if your group ends up exceeding your discount bracket.
2. The discount code will apply to the current registration rate at the time individuals in your group complete the registration form.
For example, if an individual in your group registers after the early bird registration date and therefore is charged the regular registration rate, the group discount will apply to the regular registration rate.
3. Group discounts apply to full conference attendees only.
Group discounts cannot be applied to one-day registrations.
Registration will open in May, so stay tuned! We look forward to seeing your group in Washington, DC!
