Meet in Midtown Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood provides an award-winning music and arts scene.
OVERVIEW Atlanta A
s the largest city in the South, Atlanta has always been a premier meeting, trade-show, and convention destination. But there’s
much more to Atlanta than meeting space. With more than 80 percent of the U.S. population within a two-hour flight, Atlanta is one of the most accessible destinations in the world. Once attend- ees arrive, they can hop on the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) for a 15-minute ride into the heart of Atlanta’s walkable conven- tion and entertainment district, with a variety of hotels, world-class attractions, chef-owned restau- rants, and exciting nightlife just steps away. Each neighborhood in Atlanta is packed with personality. Glitzy Midtown provides award- winning music and arts; The Westside has become a magnet for architecture and home-design enthu- siasts; Buckhead blends boutiques and galleries with fabulous dining; and Little Five Points melds bohemian grunge with a thriving theater scene. But while Atlanta gleams amid glass and steel tow- ers, the real draw is its people, who offer attendees a healthy dose of Southern hospitality.

Streetscape Atlanta is home to more than 70 streets that include the name
“Peachtree,” including the well- known Peachtree Street — a lively thoroughfare linking three distinct neighborhoods: Downtown, Mid- town, and Buckhead, each offer- ing its own personality and local flavor. Style and substance take center stage in Midtown along Peachtree Street. The famed bou- levard maintains a friendly feel while cutting a swath of culture from the marquee events at the Fox Theatre at one end to the Savannah College of Art and De- sign at the other. And in Buckhead
— where shoppers can ferret out the latest trends at fashionable boutiques — Peachtree becomes Rodeo Drive with Southern charm.
