Location Information
The PlugFest is the AT&T building at 725 W Peachtree Street (“AT&T Midtown 2”). The entrance is on
Cypress Street NE. See map below. *** The PlugFest is NOT at 675 W Peachtree Street in the big AT&Ttower, which is where everyone will direct you if you ask for directions to AT&T. ***“Peachtree Street” and “West Peachtree Street” are NOT the same street. They run parallel, a block or
two apart. Over 50 streets in Atlanta have “Peachtree” in their name. Make sure the street namematches precisely.

HotelsThere are 4 high-quality hotels nearby, within easy walking distance. Many other hotels are available
that have easy MARTA access (MARTA is the local rapid-transit system). If you will be using MARTA,
please consider getting a hotel on the North-South MARTA line, and not north of Lindbergh station.

Getting Around
Here are some transportation options.

MARTA(http://www.itsmarta.com/)
MARTA is Atlanta’s public transportation system. It is the best way to get around the city(however, it doesn’t run from 1am to 5am). Single trips are $2.50/ride + $1.00 for the rechargeable card (one time purchase). If you arrive at the airport during “normal” hours, there
are usually many MARTA employees ready and willing to help you and answer your questions.
It's a direct ride from the airport to the North Avenue (N3) MARTA station. All trains from theairport go to North Avenue (and all southbound trains go to the airport). Trains run every 5 to 10minutes, depending on time of day. It takes about 20 minutes from the airport to North Avenue.
The station is in the basement of the AT&T Center. Exit to the north (follow signs to “AT&TCenter”), unless going to Crowne Plaza. [Note: We aren’t meeting at the AT&T Center – we’remeeting across the street at the AT&T Midtown 2 building at 725 W Peachtree St., with mainentrance on Cypress St.]

Taxi
The taxi rate between the airport and Midtown (where we’re meeting) is a flat $32 + $2 for each
additional person (plus tip). This is a published, negotiated rate, so don’t let them charge ahigher rate. Some people find that walking from MARTA to a hotel at midnight is an uneasy
experience, so please consider this when planning your local transportation.

CarIf you prefer renting or driving a car, there are a variety of pay-to-park lots around. There’s nofree parking available. Parking at the AT&T venue is about $5.

Thank you to co-sponsor AT&T for graciously providing the venue for this event and the information used
to compile this FAQ.
