Practical notes for IPPE attendees
- January in Atlanta runs cold, with average highs around 52°F and lows near 35°F. Keep these tips in mind before you pack: - Bring a mid-weight jacket or fleece for the walk between your hotel and the GWCC entrance. - Layer up in the mornings, when temperatures regularly dip into the mid-30s°F. - A compact umbrella is worth adding, as January sees occasional rain and wind.
- The Signia by Hilton connects to GWCC via an enclosed walkway, which matters on rainy or cold mornings.
- MARTA's SEC District station on the Blue and Green lines is the closest stop for four of the five hotels, and Vine City on the same lines is closest to the Signia. For Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, ride to Five Points and change to a southbound Red or Gold train.
- IPPE 2027 runs January 26 to 28.
- If all five properties are sold out, we have a separate page covering hotels within 0.5 miles of GWCC with additional mid-range options.
