Getting to the Conference

Where will the conference be held?

The conference will be held at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education on the University of Georgia campus (1197 S Lumpkin St, Athens, GA 30602).

How do you get to Athens?

Some of you may remember the Travelocity commercial where the roaming gnome accidently books a flight to Athens, Georgia instead of Athens, Greece. Unfortunately, this is pure fiction, as the only passenger air service out of the Athens airport involves the Bulldawg football team. Of course, one of the largest airports in the country is a few miles down the road in Atlanta and there are a number of ways to get from the Hartsfield-Jackson airport to Athens:

• Airport Shuttle: There is a handy airport shuttle service that runs on the hour or half-hour for a total of 31 roundtrips daily. One of the designated stops is, in fact, the Georgia Center where the conference will be held. Roundtrip cost: $98.

• Rideshare: Lyft or Uber from Atlanta are not all that outrageous, especially if you are splitting it a couple of ways. 
• Car Rental: There are plenty of options for rental cars at Hartsfield-Jackson airport.

Where to park?

Parking is available just to the north of the Georgia Center at the UGA South Parking Deck, which can be accessed from either Sanford Dr. or South Lumpkin St. (100 W Green St, Athens, GA 30602).
