Barring a spate of showers or a freak cold spell, mild temperatures and sunny skies are expected to lure golfers, tennis players, cyclists and joggers to a number of venues within a short drive of conference hotels. Joggers have it easiest.
Runners can check with hotel concierges for routes in the downtown area.
The Atlanta History Center has a pleasant walking trail at its 32-acre site on West Paces Ferry Road. The self-guided tour takes visitors through a recreated 19th century farm and along forested trails.
