Starting in 1985 AUUG originally met at the Emory University campus. 
But the campus got a bit crowded because they built buildings where
parking used to be and our attendance diminished.  A survey was put out
and the majority said they worked near the Perimeter area.  Fortunately,
one of our members was "in good" with his Hewlett-Packard management and
was able to get us into their nice Conference Center.  We have been
there since November 1999.

There is a shuttle that goes from the MARTA station to the
Hewlett-Packard building, so perhaps that might help.

Cheers,
  Lindsay
