Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel

The ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit will take place at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel, a full-service property with a bright atrium-style interior and the kind of comfortable common spaces that make it easy to keep talking between sessions. It’s adjacent to the Cobb Galleria Centre and a short walk to The Battery Atlanta and Truist Park, so everything you need is close by.

The Summit is all about community and connection, and it’s easy to keep conversations going at the Renaissance. On-site options for quick coffee chats or post-session drinks include Tosca Blu, Atrium Bar, and Coffee Bar. If you need a reset, the hotel has a fitness center, plus an indoor saltwater pool and whirlpool. When the day wraps, The Battery Atlanta is right next door for more restaurants and bars.

We’ve secured a discounted room rate for Summit attendees, but rooms are limited. Book now to reserve your room at the lowest available rate.
