Welcome to the Georgia International Convention Center-Georgia’s
second largest convention center. The GICC features 400,000 total
square feet of flexible meeting space-32 meeting rooms, executive
board rooms, exhibit hall space, a ballroom and plenty of parking
spaces available on site. The 150,000 square foot Exhibit Hall is divisible into four separate halls which can hold over 800 10’ x 10’ booths
and we also boast Georgia’s largest ballroom-40,000 square feet with
room enough to seat over 3,000 guests.
Conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown Atlanta, the GICC
is the first convention center to be directly connected to a major
airport by way of the ATL SkyTrain-a guided railway system that
transports passengers from the airport free of charge to the GICC and
also to the airport rental car center.
We are proud to have two convention hotels-a full service 403-room
Marriott hotel and a 147-room SpringHill Suites, both LEED-certified
and there are an additional 8,000+ hotel rooms within a 2-mile radius of the convention center.
