Celebrate COMTO’s history and the country’s transportation history this July!

First opened in 1907, DC’s Union Station is one of the country’s first great union railroad terminals. It was designated a historic landmark in 1969, renovated in 1983 and then again in 2011 after a 5.8 magnitude earthquake shook DC.

On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Union Station will be rocking once again when a LIVE band headlines COMTO’s Welcome Reception.

Don’t miss the party! Your ticket to the Welcome Reception inside the historic Union Station is included with your FULL registration.

Individual tickets are available until July 3, 2026.
