The 2015 TMT Science Forum will be held in Washington, D.C. on 23-25 June.  Plenary sessions for the meeting will take place at the headquarters of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 1200 New York Ave. NW #550.  Parallel topical science sessions, organized by the TMT International Science Development Teams (ISDTs), will be held at the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel, 1127 Connecticut Ave. NW, which is also the official conference hotel.

The Mayflower Renaissance Hotel opened in 1925 and is one of Washington's grand old hotels.  It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was once described by President Truman as Washington, D.C.'s "second best address".  The hotel is a short walk from Dupont Circle, and less than 20 minutes walk past the White House (or one stop on the Red Line of the Washington Metro) to the conference venue at the AAAS Headquarters.
