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,
