Shuttles between AU and ATL are available in 1.5-hour increments (16 trips per 24-hour). The historic town of Auburn Alabama is home to approximately 65,000 residents and is often referred to by locals as “the loveliest village on the plains”.

Hotel Information
The AUHCC reduced rate block has been filled. It may still be possible to book rooms at AUHCC, but not at the conference block rate. We have reserved a block of rooms at the Marriott TownePlace Suites (details below), and we are planning to have shuttles that assist with delegates that stay at the TownePlace Suites. For those with their own vehicles, there are many other good hotel options; we will provide parking instructions later.
