Locations and Parking
Most events will take place in Emory’s Robert W. Woodruff Library. Meet for breakfast and registration in the Jones Room, on the third floor.
Your best bet for parking is the Fishburne parking deck. During BootCamp on Friday, parking at Fishburne costs $2.00 an hour. On Saturday and Sunday, however, parking is free on the upper levels. The lower level–visitor parking–will still charge you.
This map shows you where most THATCamp events will take place and shows the best route from the Emory Inn and Conference Center.

Emory has a mobile app for iOS devices and Blackberry, which offers detailed, interactive maps and other features.
Meetups
On Friday night, we’ll be congregating at Manuel’s Tavern in the Atlanta’s Poncey-Highlands neighborhood, only a short drive from Emory. Come for a bite and a drink, whether you’re just arriving prior to the Camp or if you’ve been programming all day at BootCamp. The address is 602 N Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307-1433. We’ll start arriving around 6pm. It’s a “seat yourself” kind of place, so look for us in the big room to the left when you come in the front door.
By Saturday night, we’ll have fed our brains but need something for our stomachs. Accordingly, we’ll head to Taqueria del Sol in Decatur Square, again a short drive. This is a casual place, and we’re not going to call ahead and tell them 100 hungry THATCampers are on their way. Instead, we’ll just invite people to come in groups. It’s a casual dining place, so stand in line, make conversation, and enjoy some killer tacos. We’re told they sell margaritas and a range of tequilas as well. The address is 359 West Ponce De Leon Avenue, Decatur, GA 30030-2442. If for some reason you don’t want tacos, there are lots of other amazing options only a short walk away from Taqueria del Sol.
