This place is absolutely massive so get ready to walk like most conference centers. I attended the 2018 Coverings Show and while the Halls were well marked, I found that the food options were quite limited and we would up driving offsite for lunch. Luckily, it is centrally located and there is plenty of good eats around. If you're visiting from out of town and have some free time, I would recommend taking a tour of the Mercedes Benz Stadium just next door!

First time I had every been there for a conference and it was great. Love the ease of the parking lot and being able to not have to walk a mile down the streets. Felt much safer here than i have at other conventions.

Parked at the gold deck for the justin Timberlake concert and subsequently had to walk through the Georgia world Congress center to get to state farm arena. No problems walking through building was clean and warm. Food court inside.

Can't recall how many times I've been here, but I hope this was the last. Old, tired, beat-up convention center with the worst design ever. Just entering the main hall males one tired and wastes so much time walking. The world's narrowest escalators do nothing to help move people around. The bathrooms must have been designed by an aircraft engineer, 'cause their small enough to fit on a plane. The staff is way less than helpful and at times downright rude. It's not like one can really pick a convention center, but if your company is having an event here, think about staying home!

Big and impersonal, Georgia World Congress Center hasn't changed much in 20 years. The exhibit halls range from large to massive, the parking deck is huge, the traffic congestion at busy times is atrocious and so are the drivers, and affordable amenities do not exist. On the plus side GWCC is well maintained.

I was there for an event, very big place. It's nice, and the staff was pleasant. If you've never been, you may get turned around a little but they have enough people around to direct you. They do have a food court area and a few different places to eat. Don't expect much if you're a vegan or have certain dietary restrictions though. Overall it's a nice place and it's well maintained.

Facility was nice but no eating kiosks we're open to conferencees until the 2nd and 3rd day. The price for a small Papa John's Pizza was $10! Coke was $4. Word to the wise, bring your own drinks and eat at the CNN center.

An amazing example of busy bees , this establishment has two faces . There s the one the general public see and then behind the curtains, labored by the American workers who never get the appropriate attention for their hard underpaid works .
Then there s the Mercedes Benz Dome and adjoining facilities, World Congress Center . The fruit of their labors are on full display here , a vision a beautiful continuous masterpiece of plans and efforts .
Shout out to the MARSHALING YARD STAFF

Was here for a conference and with the exception of fluctuating temperature changes between class rooms, it was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was clean and bright, easy to navigate and bathrooms were always stocked and clean.

On the first day of the conference there were so many women in line to use the bathroom that the next day, they turned the men's room next to it into an additional womens room. Since our conference was 90% women, this was a lifesaver.

Absolutely huge facility that definitely serves its purpose, but it's a bit difficult to navigate when they have a huge trade-show going on, not really great food options here either - although next door at the CNN Tower there's a good food court

Very nice, clean, and well organized. We visited during the auto show and I had a great time. It wasn't as large as I was expecting being from Tampa, but it was a great time and I'd be glad to attend another event at this center.

This place is huge!!!!!!! Great signage to get you where you are going. Also very quiet if the event isn't packed out. I stayed at the Omni and there was an extension from the Omni to GWCC so you don't need to go outdoors to get there. A few coffee shops, and a bar/restaurant but CNN food court is just a 2minute walk away if you're looking to avoid the queues or just want more options. Some of the smaller seminar rooms have water stations but there's no food or drinks allowed in the lecture halls.

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. A very good venue for conventions. Large, open, and easy to navigate.Lot of paid parking, also accessible by local rail transport - Marta

This is a very big convention center. It's very spread out so make sure you wear really good walking shoes. It's only about a one minute walk from the main Train line. I'm sure there are buses that can take you here as well but the train seems to be the easiest way. There are other major landmarks around this location as well. There was a basketball stadium, football stadium, the CNN building and a few other sites you can take in if you're in the area.

Went by on my way to the Hawks game. The place was well lit, security was tight,all the restaurants were staffed adequately and people were moving quickly. Only negative I saw was not staff fault it was people not cleaning up after themselves. It took a minute to find a clean table.

I was at the Georgia World Congress Center for my nephew's graduation. The center is beautiful and the staff helpful. They were awesome in controlling the huge crowds. I was so impressed with their professionalism. The location was accessible by car or by Marta train. We went by Marta which was easy once I figured out how to pay (It had been 10+ years since I haf ridden Marta).

Really awesome place to hold such big conferences. However the place is too large to walk from one end to another. People with walking problems will have lots of problem to walk. Travelators like the have in airports should be a good option for those people.

Whoa. Been to some larger convention centers but @GWCC is huge. The AMTC is here and has a ton of people and didnt even dent the capacity for rooms, exhibit halls, etc. There are at least a couple hundred vendors here and more than a dozen aircraft on display. Also: carpets clean, restrooms serviced, easy parking. Nice place for a large event.

Very nice facility. I went to a national conference that lasted several days, and the facilities we very nice. Loads of space, very friendly staff, and it was very easy to find affordable accommodations nearby. Cheap ride from the airport via an Uber as well. I'd be happy to go to the next conference held at this facility.

The event I went to was in conference hall C and I have to say that I was really impressed. It was really easy to get around the event hall but the parking was kind of a walk from the building itself even if the price wasn't that bad. I look forward to the opportunity to come here again some time.

Very solid place for a conference. The wifi was really good most of the time. The main wifi and the exhibit hall wifi caused some issues, but all in all solid center. Nothing is too far or extremely located. The walls could be a bit thicker in some rooms- you can hear the other rooms at times. The walls are definitely a bit dated and could use an update from concrete. But all and all good conference center.

I attended Momo-con for the first time and was probably one of the most epic days of me existing. The staff of the building and for Momo-con we're very friendly and informative. Can't wait until next time!

Huge place. Know before you go which building you're attending: A,B, or C so you know best place to park. Or you will walk miles. Parking is good but expensive. I feel pretty safe in or out of the GWCC. Food choices are fair and far between. Again, lots of walking and very expensive. CNN Center across the street from building A and B has good food choices and seating. GWCC is a real asset to Atlanta and Georgia.

The Center was easy to find & immaculate (inside and out) and the staff was very nice! My only complaint would be the parking! Traffic was blocking the intersection & after 15 minutes they finally got someone to help open another entrance as well. Then when leaving a packed lot that afternoon, it was chaos for everyone trying to leave because only 2 gates were open
