2026 Kennan Institute Anniversary Gala Information

Your Questions, Answered

Yes, there will be plentiful light bites and an open bar for guests to enjoy.
The Bernstein offices are located across Lafyette Square from the White House and are therefore affected by sudden road closures. We will strive to keep guests updated on November 17 as to the area’s status.
The building is easily accessed by metro and car. Street parking may be available after 5pm.
Unless you have previously confirmed a plus one with Kennan staff, please refrain from bringing guests to the event.
We will be very glad to greet you throughout the evening, but politely request that you arrive promptly between 6pm and 6:30pm for the presentation of our honorees and the Kennan’s first year of work as an independent entity.
