Welcome to Athens!
Evolution 2025 Conference
Visit Athens is thrilled to host the Evolution 2025 Conference. Here are our top suggestions and tips for how to make the most of your time and catch the Athens vibe.
Experience Athens Like a Local!
Athens is a cultural hub of creative energy with live music almost every night of the week, amazing food and beverage offerings, and innovative creators. Even better? All the excitement of downtown Athens is just steps away from The Classic Center. Pick a few restaurants you want to be sure to try while you're in town, check out what events are happening during your stay, and look for a few other things to do. Maybe a friend or family member would like to come alongside for the fun! With plenty to explore from day to night, Athens is always open to what's next.
Meet Us in Athens for:
- networking over local craft beer or a wine cafe
- staying out late for the acclaimed live music scene
- taking in the culture of Georgia's official art museum and botanical garden
- playing one of the nation's top collegiate golf courses
These are just some ways to make the most of your time in Athens!
