Is there free parking available? If so, where do I park?

Yes, there is free parking for all attendees. We recommend you put this address in your GPS on the day of the event, and it will take you directly to the underground parking deck: 17 Galambos Way, Sandy Springs, GA 30328. You'll have to take a ticket to enter the deck, and we will validate inside.

I'm interested in attending the event, but I'm not sure I can step away from work for the full day.

We completely understand how busy Q4 can get. To make things easier, we’re offering both full-day and half-day tickets this year.

Will food be provided throughout the day?

Yes, full day tickets provide a hot buffet breakfast, a hot buffet lunch and a happy hour with premium drink options and appetizers. Morning session tickets will include breakfast. Afternoon session tickets will include lunch and happy hour.

Will you have any Vegetarian/ Vegan/ GF food options?

Yes, we'll send out a form a few weeks prior to the event to collect any dietary restrictions. You can also email your dietary restrictions to Judith Fouts (judith.fouts@btcpa.net).
