This week, I had the opportunity to welcome West Coast customers to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. During the two-day itinerary, our exceptional culinary team showcased delicious food, including a private crab-opening tutorial for an authentic Maryland experience. The agenda included a relaxing boat ride on the Potomac River, duckpin bowling at our lively Harbor Social Bar, and breathtaking views from the Capital Wheel. These experiences provided our customers with a preview of the endless opportunities that our outstanding National Harbor destination has for meetings and events. Thank you for being a part of the site experience and making it possible! Hello! Destination Management Kelly Kruszewski Melanie Patalano Daniela Fazoli, CMP, M.S.
