"NCI has got to be the overall most wonderful meeting venue I've EVER experienced, ANYWHERE. I just kept noticing impressive things, beginning with the surrounding scenery, unique combination of environmental friendly minimalism with the "spare no effort for high quality" of the meeting rooms, library, and lodgings. As just one of many examples I could cite, your station-wide wi-fi is better than any hotel I've ever stayed in. And I've save the food for last--outstanding and healthy, every meal and every item, just off the charts special. I cannot imagine a better place to get a bunch of folks together and accomplish something!"
