WITS, Meet Chattanooga
The conference may be the reason you’re here—but Chattanooga’s the reason you’ll want to stay a little longer. While you’re in town, we’d love for you to get out and explore, starting with a stop at our Visitor Center and snapping a pic at our selfie station. It’s your go-to for local tips, can’t-miss spots, and even a chance to dive into a quick scavenger hunt if you’re feeling competitive.
From there, the city’s yours to wander. Take it one step at a time through downtown, track down Instagram-worthy views, or grab a drink with aview at one of our rooftop bars. Hungry? You’re in the right place—local flavor runs deep here. If fresh air’s more your speed, you’re never far from something wild. And when it’s time to recharge, we’ve got a coffee scene with personality—find your match with our coffee shop astrology guide.
We’re proud to host a community as thoughtful, dynamic, and visionary as WITS — and we hope Chattanooga becomes part of your story, too.
Make the most
of your time in Chattanooga.
