Sure! We’re happy to help you with some potential options to choose from.
The largest and closest international and domestic airport is as you probably already know … Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Airport Code ATL).
Rideshare, Car Rental or Taxi has been used by Conference attendees in the past. But, plan ahead as rideshare availability around the conference center and area can fill up quickly.
Hotel options within a 2-3 exit drive or even walking distance are plentiful. Here are six local hotel options that Conference attendees have stayed at in the past!

Eat your heart out in Georgia, where restaurant and dining options range from casual to fine dining, and you’ll find all types of cuisines — especially Southern.
So you have three local area options.
First, our CMT Forum is within walking distance of two hotels, a shopping center area, multiple restaurants of all kinds, groceries, casual and fine dining, fast food and more. It’s called The Collection at Forsyth and is one option for an outdoor lifestyle shopping destination in Cumming, Ga. The Collection at Forsyth features a variety of premier national retailers, restaurants and a movie theater, as well as specialty local stores and eateries.
Second, The Avalon. It’s about 2-3 exits away (or maybe 15-20 minutes with rideshare). It has a lot of great green space and a hotel on the property. Visit: https://www.experienceavalon.com/
Third, the Halcyon is 1-2 exits away from the Conference Center as well. Visit: https://www.visithalcyon.com/

Parking is free and available at the hotel if you are a traveling guest and is also free at the conference venue.

Hey, life happens to all of us. Emergencies occur and sometimes our speakers miss their flight, travel plans are delayed or they have to cancel due to unexpected circumstances. It does happens and on seldom occasions to our Conference program too. Not often, but we roll with the punches. Please note that we are unable to offer refunds due to speaker or session changes or cancellations.

This is really an event you really need to experience in-person. We do not currently offer live streaming or a virtual viewing option during this Conference. However, if event organizers decide to offer this option, virtual tickets must be purchased through our event app. At present, no live stream is being planned. In the past, conference attendees have mentioned that it can distract the audiences. We may record certain sessions for playback and post them in our event app for paid ticket holders, highlighting certain speakers and sessions who provide exclusive conference content via webinar recordings. Any recordings, live streams or exclusive releases will be available for purchase in our event app and released in November, following the conclusion of our Concierge Medicine Forum, annual conference.
-
We don’t have control over this but that’s a great question, and an important one. If this is important to you and critical as to whether or not you attend a conference, please feel free to call the Facilities Director/Event Planner at the Forsyth Conference Center at (678) 341-6633.
-
No. Except as specifically pre-approved in writing by CMT, no persons under 18 years of age will be permitted at Conference, including in meal breaks, cocktail receptions, lobby meetings, general sessions, breakouts and all other Conference venues or activities.

Good question. We’ve been doing this for a very long time. We understand the needs our attendees and our Speakers. We routinely have over 50% of our Speakers so excited about their presentation at our FORUM that they often make last minute adjustments to their presentations to you at the last minute. Therefore, it’s impossible to have all those changes inserted, printed and distributed to our guests before you arrive.
We will however, distribute all conference materials at check-in or during the event. PLUS, we make ALL of our “Permitted” Slide Decks available within 10-business days AFTER the Conference to ALL of our Attendees. Not too mention, if you look at the reverse side of your name badge/printed lanyard, you’ll find instructions on how and where to download these “Slide Decks” which have ALL the changes we talked about inserted into them that our faculty, Physicians and presenters may have made along the way! -
No. You might think this seems like a strange question, but we’ve had stranger questions believe it or not. So the answer to this question is of course, NO.
-
No. We take our attendee list very seriously and your trust. We do not provide an attendee list to attendees. Only current year sponsors receive the current year attendee list after the event. To learn more about sponsorships, please click here.

No. You might think this seems like a strange question, but we’ve had stranger questions believe it or not. So the answer to this question is of course, NO.
-
Of course! We’ve got A LOT of great speakers and presenters each year so this is a question we get asked a lot. If you didn’t get a chance to connect with a speaker or attend a session and would like to request the slide deck (if provided/granted by speaker), please let us know. We’ll be happy to email you a copy of their slide deck ONLY IF the speaker granted us permission to share it with attendees. Email email editor@conciergemedicinetoday.org.
