You’ve planned meetings and events for years. You can actually do it in your sleep.

And then a pandemic hit. If you have to measure six feet between each attendee one. more. time….

Don’t sweat it. Atlanta’s hospitality industry is three steps ahead of you. (Which actually measures about 7.5 feet… See? We always go above and beyond.)

To help envision how your event can come together in a socially distanced environment, several of our partners created CAD (computer-aided design) drawings to reflect spacing and attendee capacity in accordance with city and state regulations. From conference rooms to live concert halls and many seating options to choose from, Atlanta takes the guesswork out of meeting safely. 

Could these spaces accommodate more people under normal circumstances? Absolutely. But the safety and health of our visitors is top priority, so nothing is more important than safeguarding our guests.
