Housing Scams
Be Aware of Housing Scams
Reservations made through any agency other than Connections Housing are at your own risk. Be aware of nonofficial housing companies that contact exhibitors and attendees claiming to be able to secure hotel rooms at a better rate. These “poachers” are not authorized to represent ANCC. Previous attendees reported that after paying these companies, no rooms were reserved, and they lost their money. If you are being contacted by any other company claiming they are the official housing service for this event, please contact sales@ana.org and include “Housing Scam” in the subject line.
For any questions regarding housing requests, please contact Connections Housing directly at ancchousing@connectionshousing.com.

Directions to the GWCC from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) By MARTA (Public Transit):
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest and most efficient airport in the world and, by some accounts, the best in North America. Hartsfield-Jackson is a global gateway, offering nonstop service to more than 150 domestic and 70 international destinations.
MARTA offers a direct and cost-effective route from ATL to the GWCC. The MARTA station is located at the north end of the airport, near baggage claim. Board the Red or Gold Line train and transfer at Five Points Station to the Blue or Green Line heading westbound. Disembark at the GWCC/CNN Center Station (W-1), which provides convenient access to the GWCC, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and State Farm Arena.
Taxi Services
Taxis are readily available at the airport. The journey to the GWCC spans approximately 10 miles and typically takes about 20–25 minutes, depending on traffic. Fares start around $19, but it's advisable to confirm the rate with the driver beforehand.
Ride Share Services
