The 2019 American Control Conference will be held Wednesday through Friday, July 10–12, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located in the heart of Center City, Philadelphia. Philadelphia is the birthplace of American democracy, and the home to the creation and signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It is also the City of Brotherly Love and considered one of the most European-like cities in the USA, captured by the across-the-street Reading Market and little Italy neighborhood. The city features a cultural diversity of food (and also the original cheesesteak), exhibitions, and museums for all tastes throughout the year, as well as outdoor concerts and festivals during summer.
