I will be volunteering again this year for the Atlanta show. Hope everyone comes to the show. It promises to be another great show at one of the best venues to have a show

A second hotel is available to book: Kimpton Overland Hotel for $149/night. Looks like a great property and a fairly new one at that.
Some preliminary tour details are also out. They have plans for ramp tours at ATL, tours of Delta TechOps and their training center, visits to the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins AFB in Macon, GA (about 90 minutes south of ATL) and the Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia in Peachtree City, GA (about 45 minutes SW of ATL), guided tour of the DC-3 inside Delta Flight Museum, and access to the 737-200 simulator. Hopefully more to come.

Tour details have been released as of Memorial Day weekend! They are all open to book as well, but there are some changes this year.
Due to expected demand for the ATL ramp, Delta TechOps and Delta Training Center tours, there will be a lottery system in effect. What this means is when you sign up for these tours, you are only getting a spot in the drawings. If you are selected, you will receive communication from Airliners International to confirm your space. Once you confirm your selection on the tour you won a spot in, you won’t be able to get on another one. For example, if you get selected to do a TechOps tour, and you have signed up for the other lottery tours, you won’t be selected for those.
As for the remaining tours, they can be booked as normal. The key for the abbreviations and the schedule are provided below.

Haven't 100% decided yet, but AI2025 is really tempting to attend. I'm based in Atlanta, so there's a good chance that I'll be able to make it for just one day. Since I'll be busy with work during the week, Saturday the 28th would be the only good day for me. In that case, looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts and thinking about bringing some of my models to showcase!
Out of curiosity, anyone else from the ATL metro area planning on coming?

Yep, live in Atl and will be there.
