Each year BOAG selects a location to bring together instructors and vendors to provide the latest training for the code industry. Past conferences have been held from the foothills of the North Georgia mountains to the beautiful sandy beaches of the coastline. In addition to our annual training program, we offer activities for our spouses, a golf tournament, a silent and live auction to benefit our educational scholarship program.
2017 was a successful conference at the Marietta Conference Center from May 21-May 25th. You may expect nothing less than another outstanding conference in May of 2018 as we return to Brasstown Valley in the North Georgia Mountains!
You may pay for the Conference online here.
Please use our online payment system with the buttons to pay for your annual membership.
