PLPR Atlanta: Venue and Travel


PLPR Atlanta will be held in the Midtown neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. The Conference will take place on Georgia Tech's urban campus.

Midtown, Atlanta has surprisingly dense tree coverage, and is one of the more walkable parts of the city. Both official Conference hotels are within
walking distance of Georgia Tech, and the Institute offers shuttle transportation throughout Midtown.

Biking is accommodated on the streets surrounding campus. Ample parking is available in lots on Georgia Tech campus as well as the surrounding parts of Midtown.

Atlanta is a large city, and we experience significant traffic: the Georgia Tech campus is adjacent to the city's largest highway connector.
