Hyatt Regency Atlanta

The Hyatt Regency Atlanta will act as our convention center and hotel space. We strongly encourage convention attendees to lodge at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, as the convention will take place on the hotel's lower floors. The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is committed to providing equal access and opportunity for individuals with disabilities. The features also make this hotel more accessible for older individuals with changing abilities to ensure a seamless experience. Accessibility information is available on the hotel's website (link opens in new window).
