About this venue
The Greater Richmond Convention Center is located in downtown Richmond at 403 North 3rd Street. For NDA 2026, event space includes the Grand Ballroom and Grand Ballroom Foyer, the Capitol Ballroom, and numerous breakout rooms (the "B" series such as B10–B18), which host plenaries, CE sessions, luncheons, the exhibit hall, and district caucuses. For all events, attendees enter at the corner of 5th and Marshall Street at either the Ballroom or Exhibit Hall Pavilion depending on the event location. Mobility scooter rentals will be available on-site for attendees who prefer additional mobility support while navigating the convention center and surrounding hotels.

Getting there
The nearest airport is Richmond International Airport (RIC), served by both Delta and United with connections from major hubs; the convention center is approximately 15 minutes from the airport by taxi, rideshare, or rental car. The NDA negotiated discounted airfares with Delta (meeting code NY4A8) and United (discount code ZRRH415771). Downtown Richmond is served by the Greater Richmond Transit System (GRTC), including the Pulse Bus Rapid Transit line, and Uber and Lyft operate throughout the city. Amtrak also serves Richmond. Driving directions to the GRCC parking deck are available from I-95 and I-64 via downtown exits.
Nearby hotels
The NDA secured room blocks at three downtown hotels (all listed as sold out or closed for the block by publication; housing deadline was June 15, 2026):
- Marriott Downtown Richmond (host hotel) — $199/night; directly across the street from the Convention Center with a connecting walkway.
- Hilton Richmond Downtown — $189/night; across the street from both the Marriott and the Convention Center.
- Delta Hotel by Marriott Richmond Downtown — $182/night; approximately 10 minutes from the Convention Center.
All three are in downtown Richmond within close proximity to the venue. Because block rooms sell out, attendees may need to book nearby downtown Richmond hotels independently.
