June 20 - June 22

We are thrilled to announce that the RSVP for the 2023 Congressional Award Gold Medal Summit is now open! Be sure to fill it out as soon as possible and answer all questions thoroughly regardless of if you plan to attend or not. This is how we will send school and press notifications on your behalf and schedule local meetings with your Member of Congress if you cannot come to Washington, D.C.
Please only submit 1 RSVP form per medalist.
While exact timing, venues, and programming pieces have not yet been confirmed, the agenda will include meet and greet opportunities with fellow Awardees and Alumni, meetings with Members of Congress, networking opportunities with influential Government, Business, and Civic Leaders, speaking panels on topics chosen by Gold Medalists with experts in their fields, service projects, receptions and plenty of local tours, attractions such as sporting events, and FUN all over the nation’s capital.
You can find a brief snapshot of the itinerary below:
Please note that the itinerary is subject to change. This event will be an amazing opportunity for you to connect with your peers and leaders in your community, and we can’t wait for you to join us in Washington, D.C.
We have set up a room block at the Cambria Hotel in Southwest D.C. (available June 20th-23rd) for your convenience at a discounted rate. Rooms are limited. However, we suggest that you do not book a room until you are sure you will be able to attend the Summit and have been approved as a Gold Medalist. You can book your room through the link below.
Please note that while some events may take place at the hotel throughout the 3 days of programming, you do not need to stay at this particular hotel and may book accomodations anywhere conveniently located to Washington, DC.
For previous Gold Medal classes (2020-2022), we will be releasing information in mid-March about potential availability for you to join the Summit.
We are excited to offer a registration fee waiver for the 2023 Gold Medal Summit to those who may need financial assistance. Below, you will find an application form for a waived registration fee. Please note that this waiver will only cover the $400 registration fee and does not include flights, hotels, or supplementary meals.
A committee will review all requests for a waiver on a need-basis, however, please be aware that the number of slots available is limited. If your application is approved, you will be required to provide documentation of your financial need later on. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
