Meet Us in Atlanta

The perfect backdrop for connection, collaboration, and celebration.

Atlanta is a city that blends Southern charm with big-city energy. From award-winning restaurants and live music to iconic attractions and vibrant neighborhoods, there's always something to discover between sessions.

ConnectED 2026 takes place at the Georgia World Congress Center, one of the nation's premier convention destinations. Located in the heart of downtown, the campus puts attendees steps away from Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and some of Atlanta's most popular dining and entertainment districts.

Whether you're extending your stay, exploring with colleagues, or simply looking to experience the city after a day of learning, Atlanta offers plenty of opportunities to make your ConnectED week even more memorable.
