We are pleased to announce that our 2010 conference will be held at the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium on October 12 - 13. The aquarium is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park and across from the World of Coca-Cola. With beautiful ballrooms surrounded by beluga whales, whale sharks and more, you are in for a treat when you attend Venture Atlanta 2010. We will not only educate you on the technology offerings of Georgia, but also the gift that Bernie Marcus gave the city of Atlanta almost 5 years ago.
On November 23, 2005, Georgia Aquarium officially opened its doors to the public. As the world's largest aquarium, Georgia Aquarium features more animals than any other aquarium in more than eight million gallons of water. Through a path of more than sixty exhibits, the Aquarium tells a global water story, with features modeled after the greatest zoos and aquariums in the world. Each majestic exhibit is designed to inspire, entertain and educate.
