The sultry South will play host to this year’s Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA. But don’t come expecting antebellum columns and Spanish moss — Atlanta is a booming international city with a little something for everyone. From one of the busiest airports in the world to the dazzling city skyline, Atlanta has a truly cosmopolitan feel. Sessions will be held in the headquarters hotels — the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. They are right in the thick of downtown and are within walking distance of many local attractions. Whether it is museums, art galleries, good food, or shopping, Atlanta has it all!
