One of the goals that we have for Proto ATL is to provide a relaxing, casual environment in which to get work done. Because of this, we are hesitant to create scheduled times for attending designers to display their games at any of the tables. The tried-and-true method that we employ is from the “Protospiel” model of reciprocity. For example, if a designer demos their game to 3 players for one hour, that designer should play 3 hours of other peoples’ games.
Proto ATL is held in the northern suburbs of Atlanta, GA. If you are flying in, you can take Atlanta's train system (MARTA) from the airport. It is super affordable at only $2.50 each ride. Take a northbound Red Line train to the Buckhead Station and you'll have a 7 minute walk to the hotel. If walking, please mind traffic and be careful. Buckhead is a very busy area of Atlanta!
If you're not up for the walk, we'd suggest taking some sort of rideshare (Uber or Lyft) or arranging with other attendees for rides.
If you're driving to the event, we've negotiated discounted parking for $12 per day (normally $25).
