“A first-class facility with one of the most professional and dedicated support staffs I've encountered throughout the years, the Georgia World Congress Center served as a great venue for our 2003 conference, providing the perfect infrastructure for HP World's elaborate technical requirements. The city of Atlanta is very welcoming and the hotel packages offer show managers the advantages and flexibility they need. I could not ask for an easier place to to business.”

“2004 was American Rental Association's (ARA) first time in Atlanta and at the Georgia World Congress Center for The Rental Show since 1995. The expansion of the facility since that time was very impressive and we were pleased to be able to have so much space available to accommodate all of our show's needs. The Rental Show was a great event for us attendance-wise, particularly due to the convenient location of Atlanta for our membership.

The Georgia World Congress Center staff was incredible and did so much for us. They paid attention to every detail and went out of their way to make everything possible better than expected. Working with everyone there was truly a pleasure. We look forward to returning to the Georgia World Congress Center in 2009.”

“It’s the helpfulness and the can-do attitude of the people at the Georgia World Congress Center that make it such an ideal facility. The staff really works with us to make the show work. It's wonderful doing business with people like that. The Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Expo has a unique outdoor 'burn' element ... so it needs space for the outdoor exhibitions. The GWCC has the space and Atlanta’s climate in February works. Not to mention that Atlanta is easily accessible by air and by Interstate, which is good for our attendees and exhibitors. We look forward to returning to the facility in 2005.”

“The Georgia World Congress Center has the amazing ability of providing customers everything they need...and they do it in a great city! The GWCC has a customer-first approach to everything they do, guaranteeing us a successful show. We had our first show at the Congress Center in 1982 and, like the center, we continue to grow. We owe the strength of the Southern Nursery Horticultural Trade Show to the convention center’s dedication to us — there’s no other place like it! Wrap that service up with a great city that offers southern hospitality, great restaurants and hotels, family entertainment and more, and you can’t ask for a better place to do business.”

Southern Nursery Association, Inc.

“We were one of the first shows to move into the Georgia World Congress Center when it opened in 1976 and the center never fails to exceed our great expectations. The facilities are second to none - a great convention center complemented by the Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park. The center is number one in the world, but it's the staff that makes the difference. We know each show is unique - whether it's the International Poultry Exposition, a medical conference or a computer show - and it's the flexibility and attention to detail that the staff always provides that ensures every single show is a success.”

— Don Dalton, President
U.S. Poultry & Egg Association

“From the Georgia World Congress Center to the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau to the hotels to the workers on the tradeshow floor, everyone is so willing to make it a great experience for the show and all of the attendees. Atlanta is in a great location ... and it’s just a fun, easy place to do business.”

“What made planning and organizing Sibos in the Georgia World Congress Center such a unique experience was the absolute great mix of a fantastic venue with state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure and a fantastic team of professionals to make it all work. The space in the GWCC gave us so many opportunities to impress our 6,000 visitors, whether is was related to hosting cocktails, seated lunches, having a world class exhibition in a single hall or organizing a large variety of conference sessions. It all came together perfectly throughout the week and was supported by GWCC staff very efficiently. Additionally, I’ve loved Atlanta since my first inspection visit. Southern hospitality really has a meaning there.”

“The partnership between the Georgia World Congress Center campus, the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia ensured our success when Mega Fest hosted more than 140,000 daily attendees in 2004. There is no better place than Atlanta to host a religious festival. Between the accommodations, the accessibility and the warm southern hospitality, this is the ideal location for the ultimate Christian experience.”

— Bishop T.D. Jakes, Founder and Senior Pastor
The Potter's House of Dallas, Inc.

“The Georgia World Congress Center is a beautiful convention facility in a right to work state that offers all of the necessary amenities to accommodate the needs of both the exhibitor and the attendee. Most impressive - and the primary decision factor in our site selection for the 2004 CLMA Conference - was Atlanta’s team approach to business. The hotels worked together as a team to offer a superior package, the Georgia World Congress Center went above and beyond to customize our meeting space and logistical needs and the Atlanta CVB worked from the beginning to make sure that we got what we needed and offered us very attractive incentives. The choice was simple.”
