Use the MARTA trip planner or the Atlanta Regional Transit multimodal planner to build routes from your hotel to the TBA venue district, and check service alerts for weekend or evening disruptions.

Packing: Pack layered business casual, a light jacket or coat for cool evenings, comfortable walking shoes for Downtown, and a compact umbrella. Session rooms may be cool from air conditioning, so a sweater or wrap is useful.
