BestCities Global Alliance has welcomed Washington, DC, as the 13th destination in its global network of business events destinations, extending the alliance’s reach across North America.
The US capital completed a stringent vetting process to join the alliance, including a detailed site inspection and tour of the city.
“Washington, DC’s partnership with BestCities Global Alliance marks a pivotal moment in our city’s ability to attract global meetings and events,” said Elliott L. Ferguson, II, president and CEO of Destination DC. “By joining forces with the BestCities network, we’re embracing opportunities to share insights, drive positive change, and collectively shape the future of impactful events. The partnership reinforces Washington, DC’s status as a thriving hub of culture, diversity, and innovation, dedicated to creating lasting legacies that transcend borders and inspire communities.”
Home to event centres such as the John F.

Washington Convention Center.
Delegates to Washington, DC enjoy iconic attractions, and an impressive offering of restaurants, including 24 Michelin-star establishments, and 33,000 hotel rooms, many of which feature historic meeting spaces and waterfront views of the city.
