Since 1995, the Delta Flight Museum has allowed visitors from around the world to explore aviation history, celebrate the story and people of Delta Air Lines, and discover the future of flight. The Museum is a world-class attraction that offers engaging exhibits and interactive programming for aviation enthusiasts of all ages.
We have a room block reserved at the nearby Kimpton Overland Hotel. To book, visit the link below and select the nights you would like to stay between March 31 – April 2. Our group rate of $179 per night will be reflected automatically.
In 2016, Chief Executive held our first Talent Summit to help CEOs and senior executives discuss strategies for attracting, developing and retaining talent. Originally focused on human capital management, the event’s scope broadened over time to include topics like leadership development, organizational culture, and strategic planning.
Renamed the CEO Summit, reflecting its expanded focus on the diverse challenges and opportunities faced by CEOs and senior leaders, it continues to provide a space for peer learning, networking and exchanging ideas on developing the best workplace and workforce possible.
