Ultimate Guide for Modex 2024

At this point I hope you have your rooms booked for Modex. If not, do it right away.

We at Robot Advisors likes to stay as close to the action as we can. This year we are staying at the Glenn Hotel because it is an easy walk to the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) and downtown/Peachtree with all the restaurants.

Other close hotels not on the official show site that are even closer are the Omni GWCC, Hyatt Place Centennial Park and the Signia by Hilton. Most folks stay in the collection of hotels in the downtown/Peachtree area and Modex offers free shuttle buses.

 Check the Modex booking site as well as hotels.com and maybe Airbnb. The further away from the GWCC the less you will have to pay.

Don’t rent a car for Modex unless you are staying out of town (Buckhead, airport area or outside I285).

Even then you should take MARTA, Atlanta’s light rail system so you don’t have to deal with Atlanta traffic and parking. We recommend staying walking distance from GWCC or on one of the 5 complimentary bus routes. Bus route information is available here.
