Must-See Sites & Eats of Atlanta - 2016 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo
With the nickname “Capital of the New South”, it’s no surprise that Atlanta has so much draw as seen by the 51 million visitors the city hosts annually for the purposes of business and/or leisure. While attendees of the 2016 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo may have already finalized their itineraries for the conference kicking-off in a couple days, some may want to make a few revisions to make time for these must-see sites and eats of Atlanta.
Hang with the Fish
Atlanta is home to one of the largest aquariums in the world, the Georgia Aquarium. What’s also significant about this locale?

Also, ask about the optional behind the scenes tour from one of the Facility Engineers of the aquatic filtration system.
