Welcome to one of the best places to visit in Georgia! Don’t believe us? Southern Living named Athens the South’s Best College Town in 2022.
Looking for fun ways to unwind with colleagues after a full day at the conference? You don’t have to go far—vibrant downtown Athens is just steps from the venue and full of great dining options. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, you’ll find something to suit every taste.
The beautiful University of Georgia campus is just a short walk from the conference center. Stroll under (or around, if you’re superstitious!) the iconic Arch and step into UGA’s historic North Campus where you can see Greek Revival architecture; ring the Chapel Bell; and enjoy a stroll on Herty Field, where Georgia played their first football game. Cross the bridge to take in a view of Sanford Stadium, home of the Georgia Bulldogs.
We are also a short drive to the State Botanical Garden of Georgia and the Georgia Museum of Art.
