Weather
Atlanta in early November is mild autumn weather: daytime highs around 18-21 C (mid 60s to low 70s F) and overnight lows near 7-10 C (mid 40s to low 50s F). Rain is possible but November is generally drier than summer, so a light rain layer covers most summit-day walks between the venue and downtown hotels. Indoor conference spaces are typically air-conditioned, so bring a layer you can remove.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Plan mobile data for the United States: check roaming with your home carrier or buy a US prepaid eSIM or SIM on arrival, since EU and other international plans often exclude US data or charge premium rates. Hotel and venue Wi-Fi is the usual backup for delegates, and business travel guides advise confirming data plans before departure. Power outlets in the US use Type A and Type B plugs at 120 V, so bring a step-down adapter for European or UK devices.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Legal technology summits in Atlanta favor business casual; speakers and vendor teams may be more formal. A jacket or blazer works for both audiences.

Arrive early on 5 Nov 2026 for registration and badge pickup at the SOLID Atlanta venue so you do not miss the opening sessions.
Local style
Atlanta is a major legal and corporate hub with a strong in-house counsel and law firm community. Expect direct, time-efficient meetings and follow up promptly after the summit.
Tipping
Tipping is customary in the United States: 15-20 percent at restaurants, a dollar or two per drink at a bar, and small bills for hotel housekeeping. Rideshare and taxi apps prompt for a tip in-app.
Greetings and time
Introductions are brief and handshakes are standard in professional settings; meetings start on time. Use titles and firm or company names on first introduction.

Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft are widely used across metro Atlanta, including from ATL airport and into downtown and Midtown. Confirm the app works with your home payment method and account before travel, and note that airport pickups have a designated rideshare area. Allow surge pricing and a few extra minutes during the morning and late-afternoon summit rush.
Public transit: Atlanta's MARTA rail system connects Hartsfield-Jackson airport with downtown and Midtown stations via the Red and Gold lines, an affordable alternative to a taxi for the airport leg. From a downtown or Midtown station, plan a short last-mile rideshare or taxi to the TBA venue.
