What to Pack

The average high temperature in Atlanta in September is 81 degrees, with a low of 63 degrees. Conference attendees may find the meeting rooms cold so we recommend bringing a lightweight sweater or jacket to each session as it is difficult to find a temperature that suits everyone’s liking. All NAHC workshops and events are business casual attire.
