SSTI Conference Update:Room Block Oversubscribed for SSTI's 9th Annual Conference
Not too surprising. Put the premier professional development opportunity for the tech-based economic development community in a great city and you'll draw hundreds of participants from at least 45 states and several other countries. Offer conference attendees five-star accommodations at prices well below market and we've ended up with the largest room block yet for an SSTI annual conference. It's a formula guaranteeing an incredible experience for everyone joining SSTI in Atlanta on Oct. 19-21.
SSTI is extremely grateful to the management of the InterContinental Hotel Buckhead-Atlanta for agreeing to expand the reserved block by 13-14 percent to allow as many of our participants as possible to savor the comfort of this luxurious property while they attend SSTI's 9th Annual Conference.
With the InterContinental Hotel Buckhead-Atlanta sold out or near capacity for the three days of the conference, SSTI has identified several alternate hotels near the event to accommodate the continuing flow of registrants. The following five properties are within an easy walk of the hotel (1-2 blocks; the Intercontinental's address is 3315 Peachtree Road NE). Given how close we are to the event, no special room rates have been negotiated with the properties. Prices quoted in parentheses are taken from each hotel's website and do not include tax (actual price and room availability may vary):
- Crowne Plaza Hotel Atlanta-Buckhead, 3377 Peachtree Road NE, 404.264.1111 ($168)
- Embassy Suites Hotel Buckhead-Atlanta, 3285 Peachtree Road NE, 404.261.7733 ($189)
- Grand Hyatt Atlanta, 3300 Peachtree Road NE, 404.237.1234 ($279)
- Marriott Courtyard Atlanta Buckhead, 3332 Peachtree Road NE, 404.869.0818 ($165)
- Westin Buckhead, 3391 Peachtree Road NE, 404.365.0065 ($309)
If you are planning to attend the conference and have yet to make hotel reservations, we encourage you to do so soon. Buckhead is a destination location and hotels in the vicinity of the conference site are filling fast!
