Atlanta

Atlanta offers an unparalleled experience as one of the top convention cities in the country. With nearly 107,000 hotel rooms in the metro region and the ever-evolving Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) campus, now is the time to book your next event in the “City in the Forest”.   

Atlanta is home to the World’s #1 Airport, with a two-hour flight connecting 80 percent of the U.S. population to the city. In fact, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport provides nonstop service to more than 160 domestic and 75 international destinations. Upon arrival, navigating the city is a breeze with MARTA, Atlanta’s rapid rail system. A short train ride directly connects the airport to the meeting districts of Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead. 

Downtown is the heart of Atlanta’s walkable convention and entertainment district, including Centennial Olympic Park. The 22-acre greenspace serves as Atlanta’s legacy of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The park is surrounded by world-class attractions that double as venues, including Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame, Georgia Aquarium, National Center for Civil and Human Rights and World of Coca-Cola. Beyond its prime location, Georgia World Congress Center Authority boasts the world’s largest LEED-certified convention center and hosts some of the nation’s largest shows with more than 1 million square feet of contiguous exhibit space. The convention campus is a vibrant hub, featuring the new 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta with an additional 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Downtown is also experiencing a significant boom, with nearly $950 million in new development projects underway, slated for completion before the FIFA World Cup 2026. 

Beyond its vast array of event space and high concentration of Downtown hotels, Atlanta’s culinary scene continues to reach new heights. The city boasts 57 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants, nine of which have earned a coveted MICHELIN star. Chef-run restaurants dish up modern takes on traditional cuisine in strikingly beautiful spaces. The ethnic mom-and-pop restaurants along Buford Highway offer menus with lots of flavor, while locally-owned craft breweries sprinkle the city and create an unofficial ale trail for visitors to enjoy.  Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau prides itself on a collaborative hospitality community that is dedicated to making every meeting a success.
