This is one of two events with Bart Houlahan, please only sign-up for one.
Attendees will meet outside the Longworth House Office Building to begin a tour of the U.S. Capitol with Bart Houlahan, one of the founders of B Lab.
This will be unlike any typical Capitol tour because Bart has special access as the spouse of Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan! Bart will start the tour by taking BLD Southeast attendees to visit Congresswoman Houlahan’s office. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the day-to-day work of a member of Congress before exploring the Capitol complex with Bart. Depending on access and timing, the tour may even include a ride on the Capitol subway!
Reminders:
We recommend taking the Metro, as there are multiple entrances to the building and Uber drivers may not always take you to the correct entrance. If you choose to Uber, please make sure you are dropped off at the main entrance on Independence Ave. (1 Independence Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003)
Arrive 30 minutes early so there is plenty of time to go through security. Please be on time, as the tour will not wait for late arrivals.
Dress code: No shorts, tank tops, or jeans please. We recommend conference/business casual attire.
Please review the U.S. Capitol Police's prohibited-items list before arriving. (Certain items, including knives, pepper spray, aerosols, and oversized bags, are not permitted. If the tour enters the U.S. Capitol itself, food and beverages, including water, are not permitted inside). The less you bring the better.
