FAQ

The SIEGE College Fair is an all-ages event, but targeted at high school students hoping to progress to college. It is run by the Georgia Game Developers Association and held in partnership with DreamHack Atlanta. The focus is on both game development and esports, but the information provided in the STE(A)M sessions is valuable for students going into any technical or creative field.
For lunch options, the CNN Center food court (https://www.atlantadowntown.com/go/cnn-center-cpd) is a short walk from our College Fair and offers a lot of choices for your students. The Varsity is a short drive away and can quickly handle large crowds. While it does not accept cash, it does presell vouchers on its web site that save purchasers the sales tax expense https://thevarsity.com/collections/gift-certificates-vouchers.
Busses drop off in Building C driveway from Northside Drive and then marshal in the Marshalling Yard.
