VRA 2022: Back to Baltimore

The cancelation of VRA 2020 was a huge disappointment. Not only did we miss out on our collegial gathering, but many of us were also looking forward to exploring Baltimore. Fortunately, VRA 2022 is the return of the in-person conference and the return to Baltimore, Maryland.Baltimore’s location and proximity to Washington DC makes travel easy. Flying? Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport (BWI) is only 9.8 miles away from the conference hotel, the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Baltimore, and Baltimore Penn Station (BAL-Amtrak/MARC), is only 1.9 miles away.See the Travel Details page on the conference website for complete information on flying, rail, driving, ride sharing, and parking. Valet and self-parking at the hotel will be available to conference attendees at discounted rates.When you’re ready to explore, take the free Charm City Circulator to all of the downtown tourist spots. Feeling adventurous? Take the MTA MARC Train to Washington DC for only $16 round trip. Feeling not so adventurous? Walk across the street from the conference hotel and investigate all of the attractions in the Baltimore Inner Harbor.Lael Ensor-BennettLocal Planning Coordinator, 2022 Baltimore Local Planning CommitteeCurator, Visual Resources Collection, Johns Hopkins UniversityJodi Hoover2022 Baltimore Local Planning CommitteeManager, Best & Next Department, Enoch Pratt Free Library
