On July 25-28, 2016, Democrats from across the United States will converge on the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA for the formal nomination of Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. Here in the birthplace of American Democracy, nominees will be decided by an expected 4,765 delegates, and the event will be overseen by Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
If you plan to attend the Convention as a delegate, volunteer, Committee member or visitor, get prepared by reading the useful information provided below.
Due to the size, significance and expected attendees at the DNC, the event has been designated a National Special Security Event, under the authority of the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security. Security measures will be heightened, and attendees can expect a heavy police and National Guard presence, with police dogs, surveillance, flight restrictions, road closures and Coast Guard patrols, among others. As a result, be prepared for longer wait times in the interest of protecting all who occupy the Convention Center and surrounding areas.

Much like hotel accommodations, your transportation reservations should be scheduled as far in advance as possible, to ensure the largest selection of vehicles and schedule times. If you have not yet taken this into consideration, we highly recommend hiring a chauffeured sedan or limousine to transport you and your companions to the Convention and other area attractions. Public transportation will be exceedingly overloaded, and taxi cabs will be scarce. You can eliminate a great number of travel hassles by booking your private transportation service as soon as possible.

Our driver arrived a few minutes early, was professional, courteous and got us to the airport for our early morning flight without any problem! The car was immaculate and comfortable. I especially liked the 24 hour and 2 hour trip notification that was sent via email. It was reassuring to know they were following up. I highly recommend Corporate Sedan for any transportation needs!
