Ah, sounds like a great resource! I am going to attend while they are here in Atlanta.

Although, I am not sure I'll like what I hear, being nervous about my own prospects next year!

I attended the DC version of this last year. Definitely useful to hear the adcom perspective (usually from heavy hitters - Beth Flye of Kellogg was there last year, along with Dee from HBS and the #2 adcom members from Penn and MIT)

While it isn't anything you would be surprised by they dropped a few good nuggets here and there that helped to crystalize strategy for my apps.

It's unfortunate that there's noone from CBS or Chicago.

Personally I found this to be the least helpful event. I went to the boston event. There had to be 400+ applicants there. Nothing really insightful was said by the adcoms present and the question/answer wasnt overly helpful either. After the event it was like a stampede to get facetime with the adcoms.

Its worth while if you have nothing else to do and are in the area. Individual school events will be much more informative though.
