The National Conference Center, located in Leesburg, Virginia, and one of the largest meeting and training facilities in the country, has installed the FlyteBoard real-time airline flight schedule display for arrivals and departures at Washington Dulles International Airport, according to an announcement from Flyte Systems.

Conference attendees and hotel guests can confirm travel plans at a glance with FlyteBoard's flight information display system showing flight schedules and gate numbers on digital signage displays.

"The majority of our hotel guests and conference attendees travel through Dulles International Airport. When I observed FlyteBoard installations at other properties, I knew our guests would value its accurate, real-time flight data. Flyte Systems' reliable information takes the stress out of airport travel plans," said Richard Valero, director of rooms and operations at The National Conference Center. "FlyteBoard was easy to install. The company sent the equipment, told us how to set it up, and put us in touch with an engineer if we wanted help. We plugged the FlyteBoard in and it came up perfectly."

The National Conference Center is 12 miles from Dulles International Airport and 35 miles from Washington, D.C. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive conference centers in the nation with 917 guest rooms and more than 250,000 square feet of meeting and group function space, the announcement said.

"The FlyteBoard is a valuable guest service and it helps our operation be more efficient," Valero said. "Before we had FlyteBoard in the lobby, guests would line up at our service kiosk or question our front desk team about their flight's status. Now they have all their airline information clearly visible. No need to pull out their handheld, open an app, select an airport, and search for their flight on the small screen. FlyteBoard is more convenient and always accurate."
