Elevate Your Meetings in the District
A vibrant cluster of cities surrounding the world’s most traveled airport – delivers world-class service with an easy, authentic vibe. Just a few miles south of Downtown Atlanta, the ATL Airport District features the only airport-connected convention center campus in the country, over 7,000 hotel rooms – all with complementary transportation – an eclectic restaurant scene, and unique attractions, the District is your gateway to great meetings.
Once you’re wheels down at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, everything you need to meet up is a free ride away. From baggage claim, conventiongoers can take a 2-minute ride on the ATL SkyTrain to the walkable Gateway Center Campus – home to the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC). Six exceptional hotels are situated on campus with still more in development. Inside Georgia’s second largest convention center, planners will be wowed by the impressive all-on-one-level complex at their disposal, totaling about 400,000 ft2:
- 150,000 ft2 – nearly column-free exhibit space
- 90,000 ft2 – pre-function space
- 16,000 ft2 – meeting space
- 40,000 ft2 – ballroom (one of metro Atlanta’s largest)
- 100,000 ft2 – adjoining 5,000-seat arena
Right next door, the Gateway Center Arena offers additional space for meetings and events. The Arena and GICC both offer exceptional in-house catering by Proof of the Pudding @ GICC, whose innovative chefs craft fresh, memorable dining experiences that are miles above typical convention fare.
Beyond the Gateway Center Campus are the welcoming tree-lined cities that make up the District. The historic downtown areas are brimming with delightful public art and locally owned restaurants sure to satisfy any craving. Everything from Southern soul food to authentic Thai cuisine is on the menu in the District.
There’s no shortage of unique experiences to keep things interesting.
