Where to Speak?

What to speak_Chispa MagazineFor mompreneurs, fashionistas, speakers or coaches getting ready to take the stage, first up… location. Part of planning involves comparing who is better at what, especially when the words business and travel ergonomically fuse together. After much research, surveys, and mad travel schedules, Chispa unveils three top convention locations based on service, exclusivity, and design.

Legacy Lodge & Conference Center
As one of Atlanta’s most comprehensive conference resort properties, the new Legacy Lodge & Conference Center, formerly Emerald Pointe Hotel, at Lake Lanier Islands Resort offers accommodations, award-winning conference and meeting facilities, diverse recreational amenities, and excellent dining options for business guests. Legacy Lodge’s completely renovated guest rooms and suites offer a relaxing retreat after a day of meetings. Each of the 221 well-appointed guest rooms overlooks natural scenery from a private balcony or terrace. Complimentary wireless Internet access, flat screen television, and coffee are in each room, and guests have unlimited access to a 24-hour fitness center, jogging trails, and heated swimming pool. Private massage and spa treatments are available by appointment.

Meeting planners may also consider Legacy Villas, set adjacent to the Lodge. Each of the six villas offers six rooms, which are individually keyed for privacy, allowing travelers to take as many or as few rooms as necessary. The villas feature hardwood floors, stacked stone fireplaces, flat screen televisions, and wet bars in some units. Also available are The 30 Lake Houses at Legacy. Each features two spacious bedrooms, two private bathrooms, a mini-kitchen, an impressive main room with hardwood floors and fieldstone fireplace, a washer and dryer, and a heated spa and gas grill on a private wooden deck.

Legacy Lodge boasts over 21,000 square feet of functional meeting space to accommodate small- to medium-sized conferences, business meetings, receptions, corporate functions, training and education seminars, team building programs and retreats. A total of 23 meeting rooms, including three spacious ballrooms, an executive boardroom, and smaller, distinctive conference rooms are available 24 hours per day and are equipped to serve a variety of needs.
