With the nickname “Capital of the New South”, it’s no surprise that Atlanta has so much draw as seen by the 51 million visitors the city hosts annually for the purposes of business and/or leisure. While attendees of the 2016 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo may have already finalized their itineraries for the conference kicking-off in a couple days, some may want to make a few revisions to make time for these must-see sites and eats of Atlanta.
