Destination Atlanta
2027 National Conference
Wednesday-Friday, June 2-4
Hosted by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
This June, join us in Atlanta for three days of networking and learning with colleagues from across the country as the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra hosts the League of American Orchestras 2027 National Conference. Starting now and running until January 7, your League membership gives you access to a member-only pre-sale featuring the lowest Conference registration prices of the year!
Atlanta is ready to charm you with miles of green trails, warm hospitality, and an eye for global innovation. Make time to:
Explore the outdoors. With the densest urban tree coverage of any major city in the U.S., Atlanta is often called “The City in a Forest.” Walk or bike the expansive Beltline Trail, roam the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, or visit the iconic Centennial Olympic Park.
Reflect on history. Honor the legacy of the civil rights movement, and Atlanta’s role at its epicenter, by visiting the National Center for Civil and Human Rights or the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park.
Marvel at museums and art. Don’t miss the largest-in-the-world Georgia Aquarium, the largest-in-the-southeastern-U.S. High Museum of Art, or the one-and-only World of Coca-Cola. Atlanta features street art both large and small; as you travel through the city, enjoy the extensive city murals and look closely to find the Atlanta Tiny Doors.
Act like a star. A visit to Atlanta, the “Hollywood of the South,” can feel like stepping onto a movie set. Explore the filming locations of the Walking Dead, Hunger Games, Stranger Things, Marvel movies, and more.
Relish local flavors. Atlanta’s 63 Michelin-recognized restaurants are ready to welcome you! Barbecue, fried chicken, lemon pepper wings, and an outstanding brunch scene are only the start of this city’s culinary story.
Celebrate the arts. In addition to being a global industry headquarters, Atlanta is home to major award-winning performing arts organizations, including the Atlanta Opera, Atlanta Ballet, Alliance Theatre, and, of course, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
During Conference, you’ll have the chance to hear Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann lead the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a thundering program of works by Borodin, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky featuring pianist Anna Geniushene. This program also showcases the renowned Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus.
You can sign up now for deep-dive Pre-Conference Seminars, taking place Tuesday, June 1, on board development, negotiation, and video production. Building off of last year’s success, Conference will also feature a special one-day Orchestra Board Member Forum on June 2, with curated closed-door sessions and networking opportunities.
Register now through our member pre-sale, which runs until Thursday, January 7. Once you’re registered, reserve your hotel room at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, book your travel, and plan your visits to local attractions. Stay tuned for the full schedule of speakers and sessions to be announced at the end of February!
Don't miss this chance to learn, connect, and be inspired in the heart of Atlanta. We can’t wait to see you there.
