Hotel:
  A block of rooms have been set aside for Conference attendees at the RitzCarlton Hotel. The Ritz is a short walk from the Aderhold Learning Center where the conference is being held. To reserve a room, please call the Ritz at 404.659.0400 or 800.241.3333 and say you are with the FEA Conference. The Conference Rate is $135 per night (single or double) plus 4% city tax and 7% occupancy tax. Rooms are reserved for Thursday the 16th, Friday the 17th, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of November.
Note:
We strongly recommend that you book your room before October 17th. After that time, unbooked rooms will be released to the general public.

Transportation:
  If you are flying into Atlanta there are two main forms of transportation from the airport. You may use a taxi service or ride the metro train (MARTA). Hartsfield-Jackson International airport has a designated area where taxi cabs, verified by the airport for credibility and safety, stand. It is recommended to use the taxi services provided by the airport rather than use a non-verified service. Fixed rates from the airport to parts of the city are provided by the attendant.

If you ride MARTA, the entrance to the MARTA transit system is located at the west entrance of the airport terminal complex, near other ground transportation services. Exit MARTA at the Peachtree Center Station. It is a very short walk to the Ritz-Carlton. Follow signs or ask directions from a MARTA attendant.

If you are driving, directions are available in the "To the Ritz-Carlton" link below.
