Food at DLAC 2022

With the COVID-19 pandemic still impacting our 2022 DLAC agenda, we are still planning for food and drink options in Atlanta. Our aim is to keep you fueled during the sessions while not only keeping your health in mind, and taking into account that there are plenty of nearby food, drink, and caffeine options as well. Some of the details below may change as conditions continue to evolve. However, we are committed to serving food/drinks that are similar to those described below.

Monday

After the conference starts at 1:00pm with an opening session, we will have a coffee break that will include coffee, decaf, teas, water, and sodas.

The afternoon/evening reception will include light appetizers, sweets, sodas, and a bar with beer and wine. Each attendee will receive two drink tickets total that can be used either Monday or Tuesday evening.

Tuesday

In the morning we will have coffee, tea, pastries, and light food such as breakfast sandwiches. If you like to eat a large breakfast this might not be enough for you, but if you prefer to eat lightly or moderately early in the day the available food should suffice.

The morning break will include coffee and other drinks.

Lunch will be a full buffet, which may be offered in a Grab and Go style. This is the largest meal we will serve at DLAC, and we give you a 90-minute break from sessions to take advantage of time to network, enjoy the weather, or, if you must, check email.

Because lunch ends two and a half hours before the reception, we don’t have an afternoon coffee break.

The reception will again include light appetizers and a bar with beer and wine. If you already used your drink tickets, the bar does allow cash payments.

Wednesday

Wednesday breakfast will be similar to Tuesday. If you like to eat a large breakfast this might not be enough for you, but if you prefer to eat lightly early in the day the available food should suffice. 

Non-conference food options

The hotel has a Starbucks and several other dining options, from drinks and light snacks to full meals. In addition, we will be in the middle of downtown Atlanta with many food options within walking distance.
