International Attendees

If you’re joining us from outside the United States, here are a few tips to help you prepare for a smooth and enjoyable visit to Baltimore:

Arrival and Entry

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Depending on your country of origin, you may need a visa or ESTA approval to enter the U.S.—check entry requirements well in advance of your trip.

Baltimore is easy to navigate on foot from the ASRM hotel block. Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are widely available, and the MTA Light Rail stops directly at the Baltimore Convention Center with service to and from BWI Airport. The free Charm City Circulator also provides convenient transportation throughout downtown and the Inner Harbor.

Currency and Payment

The U.S. dollar is the local currency. Credit and debit cards, along with mobile payment options, are accepted at most businesses, restaurants, hotels, and rideshare services. While some businesses accept cash, carrying a credit or debit card is recommended. Note that ASRM 2026 is a cashless meeting.

Connectivity

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the Baltimore Convention Center and at most hotels. Consider an international roaming plan or a local SIM card if you need reliable mobile service during your stay.

Health and Safety

Pharmacies, urgent care centers, and major hospitals are located near the Convention Center and downtown Baltimore. In an emergency, dial 911 for police, fire, or medical assistance. As with any major city, keep an eye on your belongings while exploring.

Weather and Packing

Late October in Baltimore brings comfortable fall weather, with average daytime highs in the upper 60s°F (around 20°C) and cooler evenings in the upper 40s°F (around 9°C). Layers, a light jacket, comfortable walking shoes, and a compact umbrella are recommended.

Final Tips 

There is no formal dress code. Most attendees wear business or business casual attire. Pack a light sweater or jacket, as conference rooms can be cool. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Finally, for your safety during the Congress, the Convention Center security team is one phone call away. Please dial +1(410) 649-7055 for security concerns.
