Welcome to the Georgia World Congress Center
Authority. Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the Georgia
World Congress Center Authority -- which includes the 71,250-seat
Georgia Dome and 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park -- ranks
among the top five largest convention destinations in the
country.
The Georgia World Congress Center opened
its doors in 1976 as one of the nation's premier convention
facilities with 350,000-square-feet of exhibit space. Today,
the facility features 1.4 million square feet of exhibit space,
making the GWCC one of the top five largest convention centers
in the country. Over the years, the Georgia World Congress
Center underwent numerous expansions to meet the needs of
growing conventions and special events.
Getting to the Georgia World Congress Center
is easy, and thanks to more than 4,500 parking spaces on campus,
so is parking. The GWCC operates five surface lots and two
parking decks-all located within the convention, sports and
entertainment campus.
2002 Grand opening ceremonies for the completion
of the 420,000 square feet Phase IV expansion makes the Georgia
World Congress Center one of the largest convention centers
in the United States
