Set just north of the District of Columbia, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center hosts the We the People National Finals for the first time in 2026. Easily accessible just a block from the North Bethesda Metro Station, the venue's onsite amenities include a high-end bar and restaurant—The Corby Kitchen—an illy Café, a nearby park, and myriad dining options.
Meanwhile, the entire competition—including the hearings, awards ceremony, and other celebrations—will unfold in the attached 61,000 sq. ft. conference center. The modern facility, drenched in sunshine from its massive windows across two levels, will give the competing teams a memorable backdrop for their displays of constitutional savvy.
