Atlanta Adventures: Discover the City Beyond MODEX 2024
MODEX 2024 is happening in Atlanta, GA, and while the expo floor buzzes with the latest technology and innovations in supply chain and logistics, be sure to step outside the conference for some well-deserved fun!

Whether you’re admiring the sculptures or simply enjoying the greenery, Centennial Olympic Park offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Atlanta.
- Visit the Georgia Aquarium: Splash into a world of wonder at the Georgia Aquarium, the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration at MODEX. Marvel at mesmerizing marine life, from sea turtles to majestic whale sharks. While Charlotte the self-fertilizing stingray might not call this home, captivating exhibits ensure an unforgettable journey beneath the waves.
- Learn About the World of Coca-Cola: If you haven’t yet quenched your thirst for knowledge with MODEX’s 200+ on-floor seminars, head over to the World of Coca-Cola. Immerse yourself in the history and heritage of this beloved beverage as you learn about its evolution over the years.

However, it’s also worth exploring these eclectic neighborhoods, just a short 20-minute drive away (which is nothing with Atlanta traffic), for unique shopping and cultural adventure. Little Five Points exudes a bohemian vibe with its quirky shops, dive bars, and eateries, while Virginia-Highland charms with boutique stores, green spaces like Orme Park that runs along Clear Creek, and cozy cafes.
