INTA hosted a well-attended and exciting Annual Meeting in Atlanta in 2003 and looks forward to an event that will be even bigger, more edifying, and provides yet more opportunities for our registrants to gather, connect, learn, and do business. It boasts an international airport, a wide range of hotels, and a city that is as convenient as it is bountiful in its culinary and sight-seeing options.

Atlanta is also a city that is increasingly known as a tech hub that is also among the most diverse, with companies like Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft establishing offices there in the last few years. Metro Atlanta is home to 40 corporate innovation centers, making it the highest concentrated city of startups and innovators in the U.S. southeast.
