Amazing place for conventions and cons. It has a place for everything and the staff is amazing! Conveniently located in Downtown Atlanta, it is easily accessible by MARTA and also has an extremely convenient parking garage directly across the street. It is only a couple minutes walk and within view of the building.
My wife and I have been here many times for various events. Overall a good venue. One recurring problem we have noticed is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Definitely could stand for some improvement in this area.
Really cool infrastructure. We just walked around but the building towers over you, lots of cool places to eat near here, stop and rest, take photos, very close to Centennial Olympic Park. Have fun!
Really nice place to stay down town. Really nice views
Nice looking convention center within walking distance of CNN and Mercedes Benz Arena. I went on a Sunday morning for a skin care show, so traffic and congestion was minimal. Parking was about two blocks away in an underground garage. Outdoors and within the center were clean. The setup of the show and courses was nice, with great signage, people directing guests where to go, and easy check in.
I attended a conference here and had a great experience.
Nice conference center located right in the heart of Atlanta. Lots of dining, entertainment and lodging amenities close by the center. Make sure you have your walking shoes on as this place is expansive. The outside grounds are a real asset to the GWCC. At a tradeshow it is always good to have somewhere nice to sit outside and get some sunshine.
Had a blast here! Great view of the event. Food and drinks were served.
Can't hate the GA World Congress Center. It was among 1 of my 1st jobs when I was a younger person.
CNN World Hqtrs... Definitely a sight to behold..a must-see place for everyone visiting ATL.
Have a wonderful time, great entertainment, three or four dance floor, thanks to the Mayor Bottom for continuing the Senior Citizens ball, and the different this year is we were all together in a venue that accommodated all of us in one place. The vendors was plentiful and with great people skills, it was a night out where fun, laughter, dancing, food and other amenities was available, I personally had the chance to see friends I hadn't seen in years, lots of hugs and exchange of phone numbers and pictures taking, I had such a greatttttt time I forgot where my table was, no matter I danced and dance some more. I can't wait until next year
Used for parking for the football game. Do feel that $40.00 is too too much for parking. Will do some research on parking to avoid paying this much on our next trip.
Great conference center downtown Atlanta. The counter is connected to Omni Hotel and the the CNN center. The food court at the CNN center provides a lot of choices.
The personnel at the center seemed very nice and friendly. Everything looked clean and taken care of.
Great place, ambience was good. I was there for AWS summit. It was too big can easily fit more than 20000 people. I prefer going by Marta
I was here for the Bronner Brother Show in August 2018 and I loved the venue.
Multi hall center I couldn't walk the whole expanse, the convenience where very clean. You can tell they made provision for the LGBT community in both restrooms.
I made a lot of friends. It was a beautiful experience.
It exceeded the expectations I had of the place, very well ordered although the electric stands are very narrow
Did a sub contracted job setting up a booth for Volkswagon during the Atl International Car Show.... Great experience and enjoyed the "no crowd" walk thru after set up was complete... So many exotic vehicles and no door fee for me.... I collected my paycheck.... The GWCC is a beautiful venue.!!
Great facility but 35000 people overwhelms surrounding roads with traffic. And food services almost always had long lines
A nice facility that is easy to get get around in a large crowd. Traffic in and out is very well laid out for easy access with plenty of parking.
Comfortable, modern and black. Great venue for the real estate seminar I attended. Left there feeling inspired. Only downside is they charge $25 to connect to the WiFi.
Great venue for conferences. Just be prepared to walk, this place is enormous...
Graduation Day! Buildings are super far. Be prepared to Walk Walk!
Very big venue for a trade show. I often find myself lost trying to find a particular booth. While the location is downtown, there isn't too many or enough food joints within the compound. It's a trek to get out of the place and so you are limited to select choices at the congress center.
Very spacious, easy to navigate, and comfortable. Really enjoyed Momocon!
I attended a Hawks basketball game that night & i just love downtown Atlanta & everything it offers..
You should visit this building if you are in Atlanta. It hosts the longest escalator which holds a world record (as told to us by CNN tour guide).
Not the best signage or help from staff on where to go
Super Bowl experience for super bowl 53 in Atlanta Georgia was an amazing experience, my first time emerging myself in the football experience, we did the 40 yard dash and the field goal.
Georgia World Congress Center is a TOP NOTCH convention center. It has over 4 million sq ft and can accommodate ANY event you need...!!!
great place to go to an event at. only issue i have is PARKING! the parking is not labeled well and if you dont know where the event is you could end up parking wayyyyyyy out of the way and having to walk a good distance.
Been here a few times. Great LARGE venue for basically anything you could imagine. I went to Atlanta comic con and participated in a car show here. They ve got restaurants in and close by. My only complaint is the parking. Small signs for the garages and I ve ended up driving around extra laps trying to find it each time.
This place is great for conventions really nice. Place is very nice, and has some great space, but parking is terrible so be aware. Bring cash.
Great place to visit, wonderful thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Had a great time at the Super Bowl experience. Nice venue. It s a football field theme park that spread out across the inside of the World Congress Center. Did a mock draft & played interactive games. The quick slant game was really cool. Overall the experience was awesome for the $20.
Great place to host an event. Glad the price of parking came down. Food is crazy expensive so... $8 for a regular 6" subway sub.
Great location and plenty of options around Downtown to do.
They have a problem with transportation. Let me explain, they block all of the available space in front of the A and B buildings for buses only, they block half of the space across the street for taxis only.
Add to that that they now also take Gates 7 and 8 of the arena across the street for buses also and you end up with no place to be picked up by Uber or Lyft. You have to watch for your driver and step in the middle of traffic the be able to board your the vehicle. Of course they frown on that, big time.
After spending 10 days there and every day having security move you several times everytime while you wait for your ride you realize that it appears they are doing it on purpose to protect the taxicab business.
So conventioneers be aware.
Went to a Real-estate event here and it's a beautiful building.
So far I've attended 2 events here...the Bonnet Bros beauty show and the Atlanta Women's expo. Of course, tons of other events occur simultaneously. I paid $20 for parking directly across from one entrance... reasonable for downtown. Exciting atmosphere! Helpful staff!
Easy to navigate quickly. Our organization had a great conference here lights and sound were perfect.
When a big event comes to Atlanta, such as the Super Bowl or the College Football National Championship Game, all the fan events are usually held in the Georgia World Congress Center. Therefore, you experience at the Georgia World Congress Center will mainly depend on the people organizing said fan event. And so far, at least for me, all of those events had been excellent.
As for the conventional center itself, it's a pretty neat building, I guess. You might have to walk a bit to get to your convention, but that's kind of expected for large events that require a lot of space. I recommend you take MARTA to get to the center instead of trying to find some place to park.
Just picked up a load there dont know nothing about it.
Came for a family trip and absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend to do.
The staff kept it very clean. I just got back from Citrix Synergy and it was a great experience. There are plenty of restrooms everywhere. It is an enormous venue, but there are plenty of escalators for the crowds that inevitably go through this place.
The GWCC is the place to go for fantastic events. Three recent shows, such as The ATLANTA Comic Con, The Walker Stalker Con (The Walking Dead) and MOMOCON (Anime), brings genre fans out for a grand time. Family friendly fun! The huge venue is Wheelchair accessible, and the event planners demonstrated great consideration for people with disabilities.
Great experience and very well maintenanced buidling. The Atlanta Auto Show was one of the car shows we've been to. You're allowed to set in many of the cars with it any annoying sales people. If you like cars and a great time, then I highly recommend visiting it the next chance that you get.
It was fun! Work the trip! I had a blast!
Can we do it again Mom?
Beautiful!!!! Simply beautiful!!!! I came for the Bronner Brothers hair show...... They couldn't have found a better venue! Loved every single area of this place!
Place is vast. Lots of different spaces that are huge. Plenty of signs helping you find your way. It is connected to the omni hotel.
College football hall of Fame...free day. I had a great time on my field trip...alone!
This event was supposed to start at 6 pm but didn't get started till 9 pm, they say it was a lot of technical difficulties but other than that it was pretty cool
For their bathrooms too far away went there for the back to school program a lot of walking needs better signs
Went there for Aga Khan visit to USA 2018 tour. It was a big event around 40-50k people came. Event was smooth & facilities were up to date. Really enjoyed our visit.
Does not care about their disabled patrons. I have been getting wheel chairs for my daughter for years. I have never been treated with such disrespect!!! Would not give my daughter a chair because she does not have a drivers license so I had to surrender mine! After being yelled at!!!! Ada needs to step in and do something this is completely unacceptable!!!
Went for auto show. Staff on hand was very helpful in directing you to your destination
CLEAN BATHROOMS!!!! I pride myself on knowing where the clean bathrooms of Atlanta are and the congress center never disappoints. Aside from that, I am still pleased with the facility. Very spacious and offers a variety of conference and theatre style rooms.
The Atlanta Women's Expo was so much fun! Good people, great steals, drinks, entertainment, freebies, and so much more! Will definitely be back next year!
Attended AHR2019 in January. This place is huge. Good facilities like restrooms etc. Found the multistory layout a bit offputting. Narrow escalators resulted in queues during busy periods
Parking is extremely difficult to find. The event was rough but the center itself was so-so.
One of the best place to put on any show our conference or anything you keeping what is very big you can go there is very beautiful inside they have a tater inside and everything is just gorgeous the World Congress Center
Neat place. Close parking. Clean restrooms. Conveniently near Mercedes Benz Stadium. Friendly security & knowledgeable staff.
Great conference center with every facility to cater large number of participants. Good AV facilities, seating arrangements and directions for various locations
Very clean nice event venue for cheer & I definitely got in my exercise. Wear comfy shoes. Favorite cheer competition is held here.
Amazingly huge place. Was there for IWF2018 and it was an amazing show. Very well organized!
The Bronner Bros hair show was absolutely amazing my first time ever going and I feel like I should have been going all my life classes were positive people were positive great energy and all around just amazing
It is a huge place. Decent helpful security, good temperature control. For major events they should setup additional seating an tables for people to eat at. Could definitely use more places to get food and eat
Incredibly large venue well-maintained and perfect for large events. Walking from any entrance to the events tends to take a while. Paying $5 per checked bag or coat seems a bit more than expected
FOR SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS, If you for pick up or Delivery, once you get Marshalling yard, photo of actual place is attached below, they will guide you on entrance to park on lower or higher parking lot and bring all paperworks to the trailer where the scale i located too (photo is attached), after check in you will be assigned a number, after that you good to go and wait... , after receiving a call loading or unloading will start. That s pretty much that s it, i hope you know that you have to have Certified empty and loaded scale ticket. GL
Great facility! Perfect view of the Mercedes Benz Stadium from the patio area. Substantial parking. Also, this place has an excellent food court area with pleasant staff!
Awesome event center with more space than you can see in a day.
I go here for Walker Stalker Con Atlanta every October & it is amazing. Just the perfect size & not crowded outside of the show floor at all. It is pretty easy to get turned around & lost. The signs are a little unclear if you're unfamiliar with the place. But they're are stairs ,escalators ,& elevators to get around.
A good place for the homeless community in need if help for the needy.. ...
This was a great venue for the Publix Atlanta Marathon. I was here for the race expo to collect my race packet prior to the marathon on Sunday. The location was very convenient as it's located just West of the Centennial Olympic Park and very close to a MARTA station. Inside, it's very spacious with very clean facilities and plenty of signs so you know where to go.
Very beautiful building......just a lot of walking to get to certain areas.
With the exception of the angle of the seating. This place is amazing.
It was a really nice building but they had random areas roped off where you couldn't go for literally no reason. Like, you couldn't go within 20 feet of the bathroom unless you had to use the bathroom??
Was there attending the Super Bowl Experience Driven by Hyundai, NFL's interactive theme park celebrating Super Bowl LIII in Georgia World Congress Center (Building B). Huge exhibition space.
Had great tune at AAFLC Confrence during primerica convention.
WINTER JAM 2020!!
Crowder is so awesome!
Great experience
