Embassy Experiences: Connect with 'the old country'

Washington is an international city, and the DC2011 conference will have many international attendees who are interested in countries that have or once had large Jewish populations. Most tourists and even many professionals who visit Washington rarely have contact with embassies in Washington except for official business. To make the conference truly international and to offer attendees a special experience, we have arranged for a limited number of attendees to be invited to visit some of these embassies during conference week to learn more about these countries and their current foreign and domestic policies.

Participating embassies and the schedule of visits:

     Embassy of . . . Day * Start Time * End Time
israel001    Israel Monday, 8/15 12:30 PM 3:00 PM
poland001   Poland Tuesday, 8/16 9:30 AM 12:00 PM
france001   France Tuesday, 8/16 2:30 PM 5:00 PM
greece001   Greece (Canceled) ---- ----
ukrain001   Ukraine Wednesday, 8/17
1:30 PM 4:00 PM

* The Start Time shown for Embassy Experiences is when the group will gather to board the bus for the embassy. The meeting spot will be in front of the Conference Theater on the Lagoon Level. The scheduled End Time is for the estimated arrival of the bus back at the hotel.

Important: All participants are required to bring a government-issued ID, such as a passport or driver’s license.

You must register in advance for an embassy visit because space is limited, and we must submit a participant list to each embassy in advance. Deadline is midnight EST July 7, 2011. If you are already registered for DC2011, follow the instructions in your confirmation email to return to your record. If you have trouble finding your way, please read the advice near the beginning of the Registration page (Click Register for DC2011, above).

If you haven't registered, you should do so as soon as possible to ensure a seat for yourself. Click Register for DC2011, above, to get started.

During your visit, embassy officials will provide background about recent economic, political and social developments in their respective countries, and attempt to answer questions from our group. They may not be able to answer specific questions related to Jewish genealogy, but they can often give attendees insight into the country’s present day circumstances. Part of the motivation of such meetings is for embassy officials to learn more about what issues are of concern to U.S. citizens. To the extent that people can connect with the “old country" without actually visiting, this can be a fascinating and interesting experience. Come prepared to ask good questions.

The general format is for the visitors to pass through security (most countries will require some background information) and be greeted by a ranking official. The official will usually speak for about 30-40 minutes and allow the rest of the available time for questions.

Transportation will be provided at a nominal charge of $15 to help defray the cost. We ask that once you have signed up for a visit, please honor that commitment, since the embassy will be expecting you and will be making the appropriate accommodations for the group. Expect the time away from the conference to be approximately two and a half hours.

A special note about the Embassy of Germany
The German Embassy is undergoing renovations, so there is no appropriate space there to accommodate a group. Instead, a high-ranking political official will speak at a special session in our conference area at 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, August 17. The location will be noted in program materials you will receive on checking in at the registration area. This session does not require advance registration.
