It's no longer HOTlanta, I've been corrected.

noHotlantaI sent out a tweet not too long ago reminding all the PAs on Twitter of what the hashtag for IMPACT 2010 was (for the record it's #aapa10), well I made a mistake & was promptly corrected by an Atlantan who is a fellow association pro.

My mistake was that I called Atlanta, HOTlanta. A phrase I have used many times on this blog, oops!

So I stand corrected. I vow that I will no longer call Atlanta HOTlanta, though I cannot be responsible for the other bloggers on The PAnel... ;)

So do you call it Atlanta, HOTlanta, The ATL, A-Town, The A, something else?


Also if you'd like to find out more about this anti-HOTlanta movement, check out the Facebook group and read about what one radio station is doing.

Update - Was also sent this post by a colleague. Seems like HOTlanta is used by those not from Atlanta, but outsiders (like myself) throw it around.

    Most Atlantans just call it Atlanta. :) Hotlanta is the only reference that really irks us, but we generally don't mind the others, atleast not nearly as much! We hope all of the PAs who attend the 2010 AAPA meeting enjoy their time here! We have fantastic restaurants! By the way - I am loving your association's use of social media to build community, great work!

    Thanks for the comment Christina! Good to know that HOTlanta is the only one that really bugs Atlantans. ;) From the research I've done on Atlanta, I think the PAs will have a fabulous time while there. We've still got a few months to go, but the official members of The PAnel for the 2010 conference will be announced next week!
