Try finding someone more excited than ONA Board Vice-President Niketa Patel about ONA24 coming to Atlanta, and you might be looking for a while. We’re talking months-long, peak enthusiasm.
Thankfully, finally, the conference is just a few weeks away! As you get ready for an inspiring week of learning and networking, take notes from Niketa’s recommendations on things to do while you’re in town. This guide includes everything from affordable breakfast options just across the conference hotel to unique-to-Atlanta Happy Hour hangouts and views.
Special thanks to our ONA24 sponsors.
And if you see Niketa in the hallways during the conference, don’t hesitate to say “Hi!” and ask about other parts of her city.
