Travel
You should plan to arrive on Wednesday, October 12, 2022. For those of you who are flying to Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will be your most convenient option. From the airport, you can grab an Uber, Lyft, or taxi or take MARTA (our train system) to the hotel. If you take Marta, you will simply take the train from the airport to the Peachtree Center Station and walk to the hotel (about a 1 minute walk). The cost for a MARTA ticket is $2.50.
Hotel Accommodations
We have arranged hotel accommodations with the Ellis Hotel in downtown Atlanta, GA (176 Peachtree Street NW, GA 30303). This hotel sits right on Peachtree street and is close to entertainment (museums and theaters), historic sites, restaurants, and shops. It is also in walking distance to MARTA (our train system) and the Georgia State University campus. The hotel offers a fitness center, complimentary WIFI, and breakfast every morning. We have reserved a block of rooms for the SECRET Campaign Conference at a rate of $139 per night. We will provide a link for room reservations next week.
