Why visit? We’ll suggest more than a dozen unique experiences for after the Atlanta Innovation Conference
The Atlanta Business Event will not only showcase Trend Hunter’s cutting-edge research, but it will also highlight some of the local innovation taking place within the city. Long home to industry-defining global companies such as Coca-Cola and Home Depot, Atlanta is one of the country’s most exciting innovation hubs, and Future Festival will bring you right into the center of it. For instance, local bar {three} sheets hosts a monthly event called ‘Flavor Tripping’ that gives adventurous foodies a chance to taste a flavor-changing berry called the Miracle Fruit that temporarily rewires the palate. For a very different kind of experience, head over to Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium to perform church-organ karaoke, while simultaneously battling other dinners in ping-pong, and noshing on picnic-style eats. To cap it all off, wind down with some homemade vino at the City Winery inside of Ponce City Market.
