The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state'\;s top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey'\;s congressional delegation - and the rest is history. Soon the event'\;s popularity made it necessary to charter a private train to the nation'\;s capital. And because everyone on the train walks the aisles\, discussing issues and opportunities the event became known as the Walk to Washington. The adventure begins when the Chamber'\;s chartered Amtrak train departs Newark and our other scheduled stops - Metropark\, New Brunswick\, Trenton\, Philadelphia\, and Wilmington - for the ride to Washington.

\n\n

What is the Congressional Dinner?

\n\n

It'\;s your best opportunity of the year to meet people\, make connections\, and build your business.
