Symposium 2027 Travel and Lodging

The Commonwealth Cyber Initiative is hosting its sixth annual CCI Symposium April 5-6, 2027, in Charlottesville, Virginia, at the Virginia Guesthouse Hotel and Conference Center.

Lodging & Reservations

CCI has reserved a block of 120 rooms for those attending the invitation-only event at the hotel for the evening of April 5, 2027. The price will be $142 for single and double rooms.  

Attendees are responsible for booking their own accommodations directly with the Virginia Guesthouse Hotel and Conference Center. A credit card will be requested by the hotel at the time of booking. To reserve a room within the CCI Symposium room block, please use the CCI Symposium guest reservation link. If you prefer, you may also call the hotel at (434) 400-2100. Be sure to mention that you are attending the CCI Symposium to receive the room block rate.

The deadline to reserve a room within the CCI block is March 4, 2027, by 5:00 ET.

Rooms and suites in the CCI block that are not reserved by the deadline will be released for general sale. Reservation requests received afterward will be accepted based on guest room availability at prevailing rates, as the group rate might no longer be available.
