FAQs

Can Someone Register For Me?

No, we do ask that each individual person planning on attending registers themselves due to the nature of the planning involved with hotel rooms, etc.

What is the Attire/Dress Code?

If you’ve been to any IPDS event before, you know that we like to keep things business casual!

What is the Parking Situation at MGM National Harbor?

Currently, complimentary self-parking and paid valet parking options are available to all event attendees and registered guests. Valet parking is NOT covered by IPDS.
All parking fees repeat every 24 hours. Parking fees may be higher during special events. Hotel and casino valet is $25 for 0-6 hours and $45 for 6+ hours. Please note that self-parking is located at the opposite end of our event space and will be a 5-7 minute walk to your event room, however, it is a scenic route and will allow guests to get a quick view of majority of the experiences they could have while enjoying our resort.

Will there be Wi-Fi?

Yes, wi-fi and power will be provided at this event.

I'm a Partner/Vendor Sponsor, Can I Get a Room in the Room Block?

Sure! We can get you a room in our room block with the negotiated rate of $279/night but we do ask that you cover the cost of your room yourself. This is so we can provide nothing but the best experience for our customers together!
