Where to Stay:

UGA Hotel and Conference Center at the Georgia Center* (Currently sold out, but there are often cancellations leading up to site.)
*Please note, the UGA Hotel and Conference Center will be under construction through August of 2019. The hotel main entrance and guest services will be moved to a temporary location, with plenty of signage.  Additionally, some sleeping rooms will have a covering on the windows to protect from the construction taking place on the exterior of the building. Lastly, some rooms, including suites, will be taken out of inventory during this time. Overall impact to attendees should be minimal.
