Interesting, ACOG estimates 5,000 professionals which I take to mean physicians and nurse practitioners and total attendance of 11,000 (vendors, exhibitors, etc.).

A decent surge. So, the graduation surge plus this is probably indeed affecting hotel demand.

Of course, there are 100,000+ rooms in the DC area, but doctors are usually high spenders so the premium rooms in DC proper are probably being gobbled up.
