This is a good, large convention center with 3 halls spread out over a number of blocks. The largest volleyball tournament in the country, The Big South, is held here. Security was tight, but that is appropriate. There is street parking not too far away. Parking across the street was $20. Food options are but limited, but there is way more to choose from at the CNN food court not too far away.

This place is huge! perfect for your larger conventions. I was there for Walker Stalker, the Walking Dead convention and it was pretty nice. The bathrooms are pretty small so expect a long wait if you go for a large event. Very spread out place, a little confusing as far as the layout, but still a nice place.

This place is huge. We were in building C but had to walk from the Omni. The patterned carpet induced vertigo for more than one of us. It was cold and there were minimal chairs in the halls of bldg C. Many were sitting on the ground in dresses. Very few outlets for phones. Walls were thin and multiple sessions interrupted by intercom Announcements to exhibitors that came into individual rooms. Dirty dishes were not cleared in a timely manner. Worst of all, multiple people appear to have gotten food poisoning from the southwest grilled chicken salad at the grab and go station. The BBQ was very good but overall very limited food choices near bldg C. Will not attend another conference here.

Excellent multi-purpose exhibition space for large expos and conferences. Lot of paid parking, also accessible by local rail transport - Marta. Close to downtown hotels, Mercedes Benz stadium and State Farm arena.

This place is a very huge and can accommodate more than 15000 people. It is good for conferences like AACR, ASCO etc. There are so many good courts available with in the building itself and the ball rooms are so huge which can accommodate around 10000 people at the same time. It will be a little confusing at the entrance as there are so many entrances. Once you get familiarise you love it.

Not fun to get into. Underground. If you have a 53 in a sleeper I would suggest putting your tandems up pretty far you come in around the wall and you will go up over the concrete barrier if your tandems are too far back. I got unloaded in a decent amount of time they weren t going to start me until they realized I was an owner operator and wasn t union getting paid by the hour. When I said something to them they got right on me and unloaded me. If you have a contact name to get you in there I followed a guy on a golf cart everything is confusing I m trying to get in there and when you see it you re not gonna think you can get in there have fun.

I've been here every time Auburn has played in the SEC Championship Game.
*The Georgia Dome is no longer, but the SEC FanFare pregame party has always been in this same building. The GWCC, sure is one large building; make no mistake about that!

I went here to help out for the Hosea feed the homeless event. It is a beautiful place and close by alot of the Atlanta main attractions , the coca cola company, the Georgia aquarium and even the Mercedes benz stadium.However parking was a little tricky though. Took me a while to figure out which parking area belonged to whom and which were free on certain days.

The space was nice, able to fit a huge number of people. Everyone was polite. Great if you're visiting. But if you are working and have back problems u will definitely feel it the next morning. For those with lower back problems don't stay longer than 2 hours.

The sound system sucked terribly. Went to a graduation there. They charged 15.00 to park. For a graduation. It's was us. They tax us for EVERYTHING. Pay to park to attend MLKing high school graduation. All seats on the floor but projection was good. We coukd see the people but could not understand one word. Ran out of programs. AC worked. Beautiful ponds. Now my other child attends a Gwinnett County school. Infinity Arena. A stadium where there was excellent seating. FREE parking. AC worked. Sound system clear and protection was great. Those attendance used to empty the parking lot were kids who didn't know what to do.

Nice but it make me uncomfortable when a hotel wants 100 dollars a night extra in case you damage the room. They return it but what kind of people do they let in their hotel that they need to do this ?? Uncomfortable with this.

Bassnectar NYE 2017 was incredible, but the venue was just too. . .flat. there wasn't any elevated vantage point to view from. Just a GIANT room with a looooot of people between me and that stage railing. . .

Note:This is a HUGE facility with multiple buildings! My advice to anyone coming here for an event (if driving) is to look closely at your ticket to find out IN advance where it will be held (Building C1? Building A?) and try purchasing a parking space in advance. Try making sure the parking area is close by to where the actual event is too (especially for disabled & elderly when raining or extremely hot).
For example, Graduation for DeKalb Co was held in C1, so the closest parking deck is the gold deck. Although we purchased parking tix online a week in advance for Red Deck ($10)- it does NOT guarantee a spot- we had traffic detour (because of AU soccer game) and paid $30 for blue lot. Tip: if this happens to you & pay with credit/debit you can send to Parking lot company for reimbursement. If you pay CASH, get a receipt.
Tip: If you ride MARTA ($5pp roundtrip) you can take Blue line(EastWest line) get off at W2 Vine City (on Northside Dr)& cross street; it's closer than W1 GWCC stop.

Went to Walker Stalker Con Atlanta and was amazed at how big this place was! Friday was a little confusing as there were no signs telling you where the entrance to the con was. Saturday & Sunday were better as they had signs everywhere. Thought it was a great location that had lots of restaurants in walking distance, Thanks to the CNN Tours Center! I had a blast & can't wait to come back next year for Walker Stalker Con Atlanta 2018!
