INTA 2024 (Atlanta, GA)

Overview of ATL

Atlanta, known as “ATL”, is a vibrant, evolving urban center of America’s New South.  The city’s status as a hub of U.S. travel and industry also symbolizes its unique position in American history. Rising from the ashes of America’s Civil War, Atlanta is the cradle of the American Civil Rights Movement as the location from where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born and later preached before Ebenezer Baptist Church. Atlanta’s combination of innovation, logistics, education, and culture have made it a prime destination for young professionals and one of the top U.S. cities to start a business.  Our diverse city is home to world class universities such as Georgia Tech and Emory University, and headquarters to iconic global and domestic brands such as The Coca-Cola Company, CNN, Delta Air Lines, The Home Depot, and United Parcel Service (UPS). Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is the world’s busiest airport, bringing more than 93 million passengers to Atlanta each year. Atlanta is also the home of American Hip-Hop music, and is now the top U.S. location for entertainment filming and production.
