Georgia Center in Savannah.
NOTE: The
Courtyard by Marriott and the Coastal Georgia Center (site of the
conference) are basically across the street from one another. The
hotel is on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and Liberty
Street. If you stand on the corner and look across MLK, you will
see the Savannah Visitors Center. The Coastal GA Center is right
behind the Visitors Center. The Visitors Center is quite a long
facility, so you should allow yourself about 15 minutes to walk
from the hotel to the Coastal GA Center because you will have to
wait for the light to cross MLK. When you reach the sidewalk in
front of the Visitors Center, turn to your right and walk just
past the front of the Visitors Center until you come to a short
staircase. Walk down the steps and then using the sidewalk that
runs along the side of the Visitors Center, walk down the length
of it to reach the Coastal GA Center.
