National Right to Life’s 55th Annual Conference

June 12–13, 2026
Arlington, Virginia

Rewriting life and liberty on the hearts of

WE THE PEOPLE

This summer, the 55th National Right to Life Conference will gather in Arlington, Virginia, under the theme “We the People: Standing for Life.” Just across the Potomac River from the nation’s capital, Arlington places you minutes from the monuments and memorials that tell the story of America. From this central location, you can look out toward the Capitol, the White House, and the Washington Monument and remember that our founders pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor so that a new nation could rise in defense of human dignity.

Arlington sits at the heart of a vibrant region. You can ride the Metro or take a short drive to the National Mall, the Smithsonian museums, the Library of Congress, and the memorials to Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson. Walk through Arlington National Cemetery, visit the Marine Corps War Memorial, or enjoy Old Town Alexandria’s cobblestone streets and waterfront. From our conference hotel, you have easy access to restaurants, shopping, and parks, along with quick connections to Reagan National Airport and the broader D.C. area.

This conference will equip you to stand for life and invite you to step outside and join a nation in celebration. Washington will shine in 2026 as the United States marks the 250th anniversary of its founding with special events, concerts, and fireworks across the city. You will spend your days learning, planning, and praying with pro-life leaders from across America, then head out in the evenings to see the sights and celebrate the birthday of the country we love. It will be a time to strengthen your voice for the voiceless and to thank God for a nation that still calls power back to “We the People.”

2026 Conference Venue

Crystal Gateway Marriott

Crystal Gateway Marriott sits in Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia, and connects directly to the Crystal City Shops and the Crystal City Metro station on the Yellow and Blue lines. Guests walk indoors from the lobby into the shops, restaurants, and cafes, or step outside for a short walk to Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and the surrounding streets of Pentagon City. The hotel anchors the growing National Landing district near Amazon’s HQ2, with offices, parks, and neighborhood dining right outside the door. 

The hotel stands less than a mile from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), with a quick shuttle or one Metro stop between the terminal and the lobby. Downtown Washington sits roughly three Metro stops away and about three miles from the property, so guests can reach the National Mall, the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, and major federal buildings in just a few minutes. A short ride in the other direction brings guests to Old Town Alexandria along the Potomac, which adds historic streets, waterfront dining, and boutique shopping to the list of nearby options.
