In the heart of downtown Atlanta, The Georgia World Congress Center is the second largest exhibition facility in the United States, and host to a myriad of conventions, trade shows and corporate events each year. The multi-purpose facility hosted sporting events during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, when it also served as the International Broadcast Center. The building features over 950,000 square feet of exhibit space, as well as 76 meeting rooms, a 33,000-square-foot ballroom, and a 1,740-seat auditorium.
