Microsoft Convergence, the premier Microsoft Dynamics business event of the year, is all the buzz and is approaching fast. Between the expo, the array of breakout sessions, OneRepublic, discussions, receptions, keynote speakers and trying to get out to see the exciting city of Atlanta, it may be difficult to schedule everything that you’ll want to do.
With so much to choose from, we went through the schedule of events, as well as fun things to do around the city, and laid out some of the “can’t-misses” for your week at Convergence 2015.

- Visit the Georgia Aquarium and swim with dolphins, whale sharks and manta rays, learn about conservation, see a 4D movie and so much more! Ticket prices vary.
- Head to the birth home of Martin Luther King, Jr. Book a tour of the home, listen to some of his sermons at Ebenezer Baptist Church, walk in the rose garden and learn about the history that shaped this great civil rights leader. Admission: Free
- Is someone in your group a thrill-seeker? Go to Six Flags Over Georgia, which opens for the season on Saturday, March 14. Whether you love roller coasters, water rides, shows or shopping, Six Flags Over Georgia is a great way to spend a day. Admission: about $75
- Enjoy some delicious, hearty, Southern cuisine. Check out this list of USA Today’s 10 Best Southern Restaurants in Atlanta.
