The Industry Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony will be taking place in the Great Hall of the Fernbank Museum of Natural History - nestled in the historic Druid Hills neighbourhood, just 15 minutes from Atlanta's bustling downtown. We will be arranging transportation from the InterContinental Buckhead Hotel after the conference, direct to the museum - and back again!

The centerpiece of the Museum is the Great Hall, a magnificent four-story, sky-lit atrium. Guests make a grand entrance from the second floor via a spiral staircase. The Terrace and historic Fernbank Forest are in perfect view through large windows that encompass one third of the circular room. Watch where you step! The Lobby and Great Hall floors are made of fossilized limestone tiles estimated to be more than 150 million years old and the Great Hall's permanent exhibition is the 'Giants of the Mesozoic', which features the world's largest dinosaurs and provides a truly unique atmosphere.
