Awesome place to visit. If it's summer and not to hot you can walk if you like walking. But urber is a must in the winter or you don't like walking. Getting your car in and out of valet will waste half your time there.

We came here for a wrestling event. Had a 84 year old grandma from ND with us to watch her granddaughter compete. Due to the World Congress Center we were able to get her around with a wheelchair provided by the center. Made the event possible for her to watch.

The venue was good, I could see and hear very well. The only issue that I had was the boxed lunch was a bit difficult to get. But it would be difficult to feed that many people all at the same time. Kinda crazy

This place has great murals and sights to see, plus the car shows are simply outstanding. The give us a reasonable description of the car, and I am not even in to cars that much. I highly recommended this place to people looking for a place to have a good time with friends and family.

My husband was doing a lot of work here, setting up for trade shows mostly. He worked for a trade show company called czarnowski and they mostly did shows to do with cars such as Cadillac, Ford, Mini Cooper, Porsche, Kia, Etc pretty much all vehicles that you can think of, they had the account. But overall, the Congress Center is the Congress Center. They are a little strict on their policies about dropping off because I would drop him off there for work but I understand, they don't want people just riding down in there where the docks are where the trucks unload but overall the staff that I've encountered has always been really friendly. They always have clean restrooms, the rest of the place always seems to be clean. I worked for a trade show cleaning company and did some work out of the Congress Center and I just don't have anything bad to say. From a business standpoint, I wouldn't really know but it seems that the company he worked for, as well as the previous company he also works for never had issues that I know about with the Congress Center!

I've been to the Georgia World Congress Center several times for various events but this was my first trade show. All of the employees are always so helpful and seem like they really like their job. I really appreciate that they always have such a pleasant demeanor and a smile on their faces. Don't hesitate to stop and ask questions if you ever need a little help.

Next to Centennial Olympic Park and in easy walking distance to Georgia Aquarium and Coca Cola Experience. Some decent eateries in easy walking distance but better than usual convention center food court.
I got a bit confused with their three sections and levels. I tried going in and out from different directions and had a hard time finding the exhibition or session rooms.
Nice carpets and since the place is huge several hidden comfy chairs and couches. WiFi worked like a charm, air conditioning was well adjusted, all I was missing was a better indoor GPS and map to get to sessions in time.

Air conditioning system malfunctioned and had an issue while we were there. They cleaned up fast but we had to evacuate the room for a couple of hours. Another group was there at the same time even though ours was huge and was rude to ours. The security team seemed to only take their sides in all matters. Otherwise gorgeous, spacious and confusing.

Been there for a meeting (aacr); this place is really huge, one of the largest convention center I have ever been. The advantage is that is located right next to the centennial Olympic park and the other main attractions of Atlanta

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.

Amazing place. Great attention and environment. They have all the infrastructure and staffing for huge events. Also the location is really convenient, just in downtown, close to hotels, Cafe's, bar and restaurants. Perfect for visitors and locals. It also offered access to multiple translation options as Marta, taxis or shuttle. It was my first time on a big event and I'll always remember as an excellent place. You may count with my recommendation. Keep doing a great job and keep doing Atlanta and Georgia wonderful.

This place is extremely big. If you plan on going there make sure you are comfortable, even if it's for a graduation. You will get lost and wish you had taken the extra measure to be prepared. Otherwise, it is accommodating for whatever affair someone wants to have there!

I have to go get CE credits every year for my dental assisting national board, so they always have the Hinman Dental meeting every year in March at the world Congress center. The rooms are very accommodating and the food area has a large variety of food options. It's very easy to get around and there are plenty of people there to answer any question that you may have if you get lost. I highly recommend paying for the parking and park close to the stairs or elevator for easy access. You can also go to a MARTA station and get dropped off, but I would prefer to get the parking deck at the center. They always keep it very clean and it isn't too bad to get in and out of at the right time of day. There are a lot of selections for restaurants in the area also, if you don't like any fast food or street food inside the actual building.

This place is huge once you learn the layout it's not so intimidating. GWCC staff is very nice. They helped out when the event holders staff would not. Great views all round building. NCAA football Hall of fame is really kool to check out. Depending when you come you may see some Falcons players

First class operation on all levels. If you have not visited yet, or in a while, I highly recommend a thorough tour. I'm excited to return and explore for two days. Junior Achievement was here the last time I visited. Ample parking is available. The Red Deck and the inclement weather bridge provide covered and virtually direct access.
Let me know about your experience. Ciao.

As an employee we are under paid and over worked for the things that are performed. The sales team charge clients $200 for bartenders and the bartenders only get paid $10 hour with no tips. Its very unorganized and a lot of crooks and liars work for this company with levy.

Big basketball tournament with lots of girls teams, hosted pretty well at this facility...

The quality of the floors used is questionable, though. If a player changes direction quickly, the flooring can come apart, buckle, and potentially cause injury...please, rethink use of that puzzle-like material for future basketball tournament floors...

Top notch convention space! This place is BIG. I've been to several conventions in each A, B, and C halls. Everything is nice here. I love that crew is always picking up and keeping things clean! Make sure you were your comfortable shoes though. I think just B hall is 800k sqft.
They just put in new carpets throughout (2019) and it looks nice. The foot at Social Table (restaurant at top of B hall) is a great place to sit and regroup, nice seating and delicious food. I've had the burger, and pulled pork, both were great.

GSU graduation here and clean well organized event. I've been to several events at GWCC and like that I can take MARTA here easily and also park here. A massive complex but the bathrooms are clean the building is clean and I really like the GWCC events held here!!! You do have to walk a bit...when parking or MARTA. but there is curbside drop off and every time I've been well staged and security is present!

Went here for the International Car Show and it was very clean and spacious and had plenty of bathrooms located all around. We had a good time. The food was quite expensive but that's not be expected when they hold events like this. The A.C. was kicking so it felt wonderful on a hot humid day.

This facility is huge. The Big South Volleyball tournament was held here the weekend of Mar 30 to April 1. The Big South Volleyball organization seemed to have everything organized. The facility was able to encapsulate all games, as well as the many vendors that were present. Security was quite visible..

It is very large, and has plenty of room for any event. It has a very modern and pretty design. However, it was a bit hard to navigate. I would highly suggest looking at a map on their site before visiting.

The Georgia World Congress Center was amazing. We attended a red carpet event for a feature film that was in Atlanta and it was true so amazing it was gorgeous everything is huge a great open space.

Would not want to have an event here.

Would not want to have an event here.
Went to a graduation here and the parking was bad, the walk to the event was long, very long like we had to go up and down four escalators that was not close to each other at all . Meanwhile when you ask for directions or help almost everyone that worked there was confused cause there was so many events going on at the same time.

We had two weekend long dance competitions there this season. Red deck parking is expensive at twenty dollars unless they give you an event code that brings it down to eleven dollars. Travel to parking deck in groups for safety. There were extremely drunk folks and the last time there was a group of four shady characters harassing each of us as we stepped off the elevator into the garage, till my 6'6" ex-cop fiance stepped out looking grim, and they slunk off.

Venue is clean, bright and spacious.

Food is terrible. Venders charge ten dollars for a dried out flat papa johns mini pizza. Six for a hot dog and four dollars for a coke.
Best parts are the sunny courtyard for walks, spacious changing areas and room to practice. Also, there are plenty of quiet spaces with couches to take a break if you can walk five minutes. Otherwise a camping chair is helpful in the lobby.

Summary: Beautiful location for a dance comp but pack a cooler and visit the parking deck in groups.
