ACCELERATE YOUR BUSINESS

HELLO, HOTLANTA!

They don’t call it Hotlanta for nothing! Business Insider has consistently ranked Atlanta as one of the “Hottest Cities in the US” due to its booming economy and innovativeness paired with a serious cool factor. Atlanta began as a railroad terminus and is still a transportation hub, with a 21st-century, global approach, making it the perfect destination for APTA’s EXPO 2017.

Atlanta’s easy accessibility, walkable convention district, world-class venues, restaurants and sights, combined with an enjoyable moderate climate, attract over 45 million visitors every year. Only a two-hour flight from 80% of the U.S. population, Atlanta is one of the most convenient meeting destinations in North America. The quick and efficient MARTA light rail makes reaching attractions and hotels a breeze. Attendees will be thrilled to visit this fantastic destination to see, test and buy the new products and services on display at APTA’s EXPO 2017.

“ APTA’s EXPO was a great opportunity to meet with existing customers and further grow our partnerships, as well as meet many potential well-qualified new clients.”
