The Official Conference

One party, three unique venues...

The largest aquarium in the United States, the Georgia Aquarium holds over 11 million gallons of water and is home to the Ocean Voyager --the world's largest indoor aquatic habitat, featuring whale sharks, manta rays, and thousands of other marine animals.

The World of Coca-Cola

Guests can sample over 100 different Coca-Cola beverages,, each representing a different part of the globe. Make sure you get your picture with the iconic Coca-Cola Polar Bear!
