  • Recommended Hotel & Area

    Our recommended property is the Hyatt Regency Reston, located approximately 10–15 minutes from YM Dental Lab.

    We recommend the Hyatt Regency Reston because it sits in the heart of Reston Town Center, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and gathering spots within walking distance. This is where many attendees will naturally connect each evening, making it the ideal place to stay if you’d like to be part of the group outside of program hours.

    You can view and book here:
    → Hyatt Regency Reston Website

    There are also several additional hotel options depending on your preference. Below they are listed in order of proximity to YM Dental Lab:

    Closest to YM Dental Lab (Chantilly area):

    Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles

    Hyatt Place Chantilly/Dulles Airport-South

    Hilton Washington Dulles Airport

    Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax

    Reston Town Center (10–15 minutes, near group activity):

    Hyatt Regency Reston

    All of these are great options—if you prefer convenience to the venue, stay in Chantilly. If you want to be where the group gathers in the evenings, Reston Town Center is the better choice (about a 10–15 minute drive). 

  • What to Pack/ What to Wear

    Spring in Chantilly is a little bit of everything—sometimes all in one week!
    May weather is typically mild, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, but the current forecast is showing sunshine with highs near 80° and a chance of rain.

    Business casual attire is perfect for all events. Meeting rooms can run cool, so we recommend dressing in layers and packing a light jacket or sweater to stay comfortable throughout the day.

    A small umbrella might come in handy too—just in case spring decides to show off!

  • Transportation to and from YM Dental Lab

    If you're flying in from out of town, we recommend renting a car or planning to use Uber/Lyft to travel between your hotel and the lab each morning and evening.
