Those traveling by plane should fly into Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL).  We chose Atlanta in part because of the convenience of getting there.  The Atlanta airport is a major hub, with numerous direct flights daily.  The hotel is a short drive or MARTA ride from the airport and is near three major interstates (I-75, I-85, and I-20) that come through the city. 

Travel cost reimbursement is a DPRCG member-firm benefit; all reimbursements are made payable to the member firm and not to the individual attendee.

 

Honoring Asheville

While we are not able to hold the Convocation in Asheville, our concern for the residents and businesses remains paramount.   We are assessing opportunities for DPRCG and its members to support the community from afar.

If you are unable to join us, please make sure to cancel your hotel and travel arrangements and to email [email protected] to confirm your cancellation.  All cancellations must be submitted to the hotel and DPRCG by Thursday, October 17th.
