Local Atlanta Meeting Planner Expertise

As an experienced corporate planner in Atlanta, we have the insider knowledge you need to make a one-of-a-kind event to remember. We've put our decades of experience to use curating relationships with local partners in each of our destinations. That means when you plan an Atlanta event, you'll get insider knowledge of the best options in the city, partner discounts, and access to activities and services only the locals know about. Every single one of our local service providers is vetted to live up to our high standards and bring you authentic local experiences.

Not only is using our local connections the best way to ensure your event is memorable and engaging, it's a great way to support local economies. Using local partners is more sustainable and helps keep our favorite locations — like Atlanta — thriving. After all, we believe in making sustainability efforts that are more than just turning off the lights or recycling a few bottles.

Plus, we've found that clients report higher satisfaction with their corporate meeting or event when they take an active role in sustainability efforts. It turns out that not only is protecting our destinations the right thing to do; it's also the fun thing to do. Seems like a no-brainer, right?

You can choose a variety of ways for your group to get involved in supporting the Atlanta community you visit. From donating a portion of proceeds from your program to a charity (plus free swag!), to joining a local sustainability effort like planting trees or packing lunchboxes, to scheduling a speaker to educate your group on pressing issues in Atlanta. However your group wants to make a difference, we're here to help.

Your Atlanta Corporate Planner

Atlanta is a unique mix of bustling city with expansive greenspace and we know just where to send you for all the hidden gems. The city proudly identifies as one of the most welcoming cities in the U.S., so you'll feel right at home as soon as you arrive in town. From relaxation to culture to activities, your group will have a hard time feeling bored. What's more, the city is home to plenty of venues that are perfect for meetings of all sizes — and a dining scene that's the perfect mix of comfort food and exotic cuisine. No matter the size of your group or length of your stay, Atlanta is happy to accommodate — and Pure Local has all the tools to make it a success.

Corporate Activities in Atlanta

Whether your group is interested in arts and culture, sports and activity, or some local history, Atlanta has you covered. We recommend you take a tour of the city — but we're not talking about an old-fashioned walking group. Let us set you up in style and send you off to explore the city on a bike or Segway tour. You'll be able to explore at your own pace and see corners of the city you might have missed if you were walking the whole way.

If you're interested in culture, Atlanta's got it on just about every street. As the home of Coca- Cola headquarters, it's only fitting to visit the World of Coca-Cola and cool off with a sample of the town's signature soft drink. You could also take a foodie or cocktail tour of the city to get a taste of the city's diverse cuisine. Stop by the Carter Presidential Library to see the curated museum and 35 acres of pristine gardens. Or, get some hands-on art experience with a local glassblowing, painting, or pottery class. There's something special about getting involved in a city's culture and making memories as a group.

Atlanta also has a thriving athletic scene that your group might love to experience. Get tickets to an Atlanta Braves baseball game at Truist Park or stop by the College Football Hall of Fame right in downtown Atlanta. Or get some exercise yourself with a canoe trip down the Chattahoochee River, a round of golf in warm weather, or a zipline with scenic city views. No matter your speed, we can help you find the right activity for your group.

When you're in Atlanta, you don't want to miss out on learning about the local history of the area. A Civil Rights Tour is a moving experience to help your group connect with history and with each other. With museums, history tours and historical sites, you can help your group get to know your destination and create a memorable bonding experience for everyone. Whether you're searching for something low-key, high-energy or a little bit of both, Pure Local can set you up with the perfect group activities.

A Variety of Venues

Atlanta is home to venues as diverse as the city itself. From intimate meetings to grand receptions, Pure Local knows the best places for your corporate events. Whether you're looking for something iconic or a place off the beaten path, we know our way around Atlanta and can book your group the perfect venue for a meeting or program like no other.

If you're looking to make a splash, consider hosting your event at a quintessential Atlanta venue like the College Football Hall of Fame, a private box at Truist Field to see the Atlanta Braves, or even host a private taste test at World of Coca-Cola. It's a great way to wow your attendees and let them see Atlanta's famous institutions in a new light.

Known for its origins as a dense forest, Atlanta is home to many nature-focused event centers and venues. With mild winters, you could host an outdoor event in one of our vetted botanical gardens, nature centers or parks. Or move the party indoors while still appreciating the great outdoors with an event at a zoo, aquarium or natural history museum. After all, when you're in Atlanta, you may be in a big city but nature is always within reach.

Your group might also enjoy a historic or cultural overtone to your event. In that case, we know of excellent museums, art galleries and history centers to host perfectly curated events. Use Request Builder to explore options including iconic grounds, open-air pavilions, museum exhibits and ballrooms and let us help you find the ideal location.

Planning for corporate dining events in Atlanta

We want your group to experience the best of Atlanta cuisine — and that doesn't always mean going to the most well-known restaurants. In fact, some of our very favorite places were discovered by our local partners and can give you a truly authentic Atlanta experience.

In Atlanta, the dining scene starts with don't-miss southern flavors but that's only the beginning. Beyond classic southern fare, you can enjoy farm-to-table dishes, fresh seafood and traditional steakhouses. For a taste of diversity, try top-rated Mexican fare, upscale Italian eats, or other flavors that have made their home in Atlanta.

Each of our vetted restaurants serves up not only delicious cuisine, but also incredible ambience for your group to enjoy. Enjoy your meal on an open-air patio year-round, or sit right on the river and enjoy upscale service. From old-fashioned interiors to modern eateries, we know just the place to serve up what you're craving.

It wouldn't be Atlanta cuisine if we didn't mention the drinks on tap. Treat your group to a brewery visit or to a round of custom cocktails. You can enjoy craft beer, curated wines, and happy hours across the city. Explore your options through Request Builder and we'll help you create the perfect menu for your program.
