The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) Authority opened in 1976, becoming the first state-owned and operated major Convention Center in the United States. The GWCC is comprised of the 3.9-million-square-foot convention center, the 71,250-seat Georgia Dome, and 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park. Ranked as one of the top 5 largest convention centers in the country, as well as one of the best entertainment and sports facilities in the world, the GWCC hosts more than a million guests annually.
In addition to the Congress Center’s central downtown Atlanta location, it is also particularly popular with meeting planners due to its sheer capacity.
