EDSymposium26 Registration is Now Open

A New EDS Experience—Designed for Connection

EDS26 introduces a fresh, flexible conference format designed to help you get more from your time together. All conference sessions will be held at Two Ravinia Center, a dedicated conference venue in Atlanta’s Perimeter Center district, surrounded by hotels and restaurants—giving you the flexibility to stay where it works best and enjoy the neighborhood setting.

Two of our signature events will take place at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center:

PPC Foundation Fundraiser – Thursday evening
Further Together: Awards & Leadership Installation Luncheon – Friday afternoon

The conference center and Marriott are located just under one mile apart, connected by sidewalks and signalized crossings. Many attendees will choose to walk together, creating a simple and reliable way to move between sessions, networking, and celebratory events.

This neighborhood-style setting—combined with extended lunch breaks—creates more opportunities to connect, explore, and engage as we go Further Together throughout the EDS26 experience.

Just outside Two Ravinia Center in Dunwoody, you’ll find plenty of ways to explore and unwind between sessions. Enjoy shopping and dining at Perimeter Mall, take a walk through the trails at Brook Run Park, or visit the Spruill Center for the Arts to experience local exhibitions and creative energy.

The Perimeter Center area also offers convenient access to MARTA, making it easy to extend your stay and explore more of Atlanta — from the Georgia Aquarium and High Museum of Art to the shops and restaurants of Buckhead.

Whether you’re connecting over dinner, exploring during an extended lunch break, or adding a little extra time to your trip, the neighborhood setting creates natural opportunities to enjoy the city together.
