Safety Tips for Conference Attendees
The well-being of attendees is the National Association of REALTORS®’ (NAR) top priority. Each year, NAR contracts with outside experts to implement best practices in safety and security for large-scale events. NAR also works closely with local police, public safety and city officials to ensure a safe and productive meeting experience.
Below are some helpful safety tips and best practices for the Walter E. Washington Convention Center (WEWCC).
Safety Tips for Attendees
- Should an emergency occur, NAR will issue push notifications via the NAR Legislative 2026 Mobile App.
- Remove your REALTORS® Legislative Meetings (RLM) registration badge outside of the meeting site.
- Sharing your RLM conference badge is strictly prohibited. Additionally, sharing the badge weakens on-site security and prevents NAR from reaching your emergency contact(s) if needed.
- If you lose your RLM badge, please notify a NAR staff member immediately; similarly, if you lose your hotel room key, immediately notify the hotel’s front desk.
- Consider rideshare services for late-night and early-morning events and meetings.
- When walking, stick to well-lit, busy areas. Don’t be distracted by your cellphone.
- Do not display hotel guestroom keys in public.
- It is highly recommended for guests to use the main entrance of the venues.
- If you see something, say something. Notify NAR staff, WEWCC or hotel staff if you see something out of the ordinary. Additionally, dial 911 for emergency assistance.
- Review the NAR’s Statement of Appropriate Event Conduct, which all attendees must agree to.
