Atlanta in 1998 will use the two largest exhibition halls in the Market Center: the Inforum and the Atlanta Apparel Mart. These vast structures both feature exhibit space (a combined single-level Exhibit Hall of 200,000 square feet) and an ultra-modern meeting facility (complete with a Broadway-style theater) that can handle up to twenty-six simultaneous tracks of programming.
Three additional hotels, Days Inn Atlanta, the Ramada Hotel, and Inn at the Peachtrees, have reserved hotel rooms for attendees - and all three provide free parking for guests. In fact, over 12,000 hotel rooms are available within an eight-block radius of the Atlanta Market Center.
