The 2023 SVC TechCon will be held May 6-11 just outside of Washington D.C. at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. The Gaylord Resort and Convention Center is the jewel of the National Harbor, a 350 acre waterfront area on the Potomac River that contains more than 160 shops, 40 restaurants, and eight hotels including a casino. 

This is the first time the SVC has been in this ideal location in close proximity to the industrial and government centers in this dominant Washington D.C. - Maryland-Virginia technology hub.
