Considered the third-largest convention centre in the United States, Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) hosts at least a million visitors annually for a wide range of sports and entertainment events. The centre sits in a prime location in downtown Atlanta and includes world-renowned venues, such as the College Football Hall of Fame and Centennial Olympic Park.

The GWCC spreads across three buildings and features 12 exhibit halls, two ballrooms and more than 100 meeting rooms in addition to the Sidney Marcus auditorium. Browse the gift shops, eateries and coffee shops or visit the printing centres or concierge desk.
