Optional Pre-Conference Meetup
There will be an optional social meetup from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, July 26 (the night before the conference) at Ormsby's in west midtown Atlanta: https://www.ormsbysatlanta.com/ | 1170 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318
Ormsby's is a large restaurant and bar with a few group games available (darts, bocce, table shuffleboard). Participants will be responsible for their own purchases and conduct here (the conference's Code of Conduct will apply during this meetup). And while you may choose to eat at Ormsby's, there will be no group reservations made for this meetup, so please plan accordingly.
Ormsby's can be difficult to find. It is located beneath a staircase in a shopping plaza right at the corner of the intersection of Howell Mill Road and 14th Street NW. There is free parking available in a nearby parking garage, but it would be best to carpool since it may get busy. Here are some pictures that may help:
Ormsby's is semi-hidden below a staircase.
This is the free parking garage near Ormsby's.
