The host hotel, where all events will take place, is the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. It is very important that you register and begin making your hotel reservations at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis before it closes and the rate returns to the regular rate. If you plan to use the same credit card to pay for multiple rooms, please consider this alternative booking option so that you will not have to swipe the card multiple times at the counter. The hotel has asked that you complete a spreadsheet and email it directly to rudy.jerry@marriott.com. The subject should read “SBGWC – [the name of your group]”.

Please direct ALL questions related to this hotel booking process to Rudy Jerry (rudy.jerry@marriott.com) at the hotel. She will send you the information to put your credit card on file and provide you with confirmation numbers.
