PANDEMIC! Shark Week(end)

  • Metropolitan Washington Mensa
  • August 14, 2026

Welcome to Shark Week(end)! This year, we're plunging into a sea of discovery, curiosity, and camaraderie. Forget staying on the surface — Metropolitan Washington Mensa's 2026 Regional Gathering invites you to explore the depths of knowledge, creativity, and laughter!

Throughout the weekend, we'll host speakers who are FIN-tastic — from local experts making waves in the D.C. area to nationally known Mensa presenters ready to sink their teeth into fascinating topics.

So grab your flippers and get ready to make a splash! Whether you're a great white in your field or just dipping your toes into new waters, there's something here for everyone. Let's make this RG one to remember — a feeding frenzy of fun, friendship, and fascinating ideas.

Adult registration for the full weekend is $140 (through Feb 28), $150 (between March 1 and June 30), and $160 (after June 30). Kid's track will run Saturday ($25 for Saturday only, $60 for full weekend).

Full weekend registration includes Friday dinner and Saturday lunch. Breakfasts are covered through the hotel restaurant via your room rate, but hospitality will also have light offerings for those not staying at the hotel. Saturday night dinner is a keynote address and can be purchased separately for $60.

In addition, whiskey tasting ($60) and wine tasting ($30) tickets are also available in limited supply.
