Event RecapAnyone may ask. Attendance is by credential and places are limited, so everyone registers the same way — through the public request form — and NAIA staff review every request case by case. NAIA members register on that same form and declare their membership on it; there is no separate portal or sign-in. Sponsors' delegations are seated directly by NAIA staff. Press credentials are handled separately through press@newindustrials.org.
It is free and takes a few minutes. NAIA reviews requests on a rolling basis against a limited number of places, and every one is approved by hand rather than automatically. There is nothing to pay at any point — attendance is free, and no charge is ever made. You hear back by email.
Yes, until September 7th. Return to your registration at any time before the Forum to adjust which sessions you plan to attend. Plenary sessions are open to all credentials and do not require selection.
No. The agenda is subject to change; the schedule published here is the working order of proceedings, and the final program is distributed on arrival.
The New Industrial Age Forum is located in D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood. The following hotels are conveniently located near the Forum venue, restaurants, the waterfront, and the Navy Yard–Ballpark Metro station.
–Navy Yard**](https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/wasnyhx-hampton-suites-washington-dc-navy-yard/) — 1265 First Street SE. Located next to Nationals Park and within walking distance of the Forum, with easy access to the Navy Yard–Ballpark Metro.
We encourage attendees to book accommodations early, as availability in Navy Yard can be limited during major events in Washington.
The venue is step-free throughout and the program floor is served by elevator. To request accommodations — mobility, ASL interpretation, assistive listening, dietary needs, or anything else — note it in the accommodations field on your registration, or write forum@newindustrials.org at least ten days before the Forum. Every request is handled by the summit desk in confidence.
