@ceefer66 - from a car-centric perspective and for people who want to go to conferences and just stay at conferences, you're probably right.

Most people who fly into DCA for a conference would rather take Metro than a cab to their hotel. And when they hear that they're conference is in DC, I'm sure they think "Oh, great, this is finally my chance to see wonderful Fort Washington (or wherever it is) and go to the same steakhouse and dueling piano bar every night!" They want to be close to the museums, monuments, sites, etc.

So yes, you're right that the DC Convention Center uses the Metro for branding - but why shouldn't they? By being close to the Metro it gives people access to the entire city and all DC has to offer. Gaylord can't compete with that.
