The meeting will be held between 9am and 5pm each day in room #125 of the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB). Coffee and donuts will be available beginning at 8:30am.

Transportation
The nearest airport is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
- Atlanta's airport is the world's busiest so while not close for some, travel will not be too onerous.
- Atlanta has an excellent train system and driving should not be necessary while at the meeting.
The MARTA train goes directly from the Airport to the two stops near the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center. It is about a 3 block walk northeast to the conference center from the North Avenue MARTA stop (10th stop). The map below shows how to get to the GT Hotel from the North Avenue MARTA Stop:
Hotel Recommendations
A room block has not been reserved but the GT Conference Center across from the GVU and the Hotel Palomar very nearby are offering reduced rates. One advantage of staying at the Palomar is the wine hour 5-6pm and more luxury. We will be asked to officially vacate our meeting space at 5pm each day but there are other meeting areas if necessary. Until further notice the GT Conference Center will be considered the primary option. Contact Alex Hill with any questions about the location.
