Atlanta is built for groups, and downtown Atlanta is writing its next chapter. Planners have a front-row seat from our walkable convention campus, anchored by the Georgia World Congress Center, Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Signia by Hilton Atlanta. Just steps away, the first phases of Centennial Yards, a 50+ acre entertainment district, are now open, with restaurants, entertainment and hotels, and more still to come. The CTR has reopened the former CNN Center as a dining, retail and gathering hub. And in historic South Downtown, some of the city’s most storied buildings are being revitalized with local flavor, retail and central gathering spot, Founders Green, in the heart of the city.

Add the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, more than 13,000 hotel rooms within walking distance of the convention center, and 63 MICHELIN Guide-recognized restaurants, and it’s easy to see why a World Cup semifinal felt like home. Our collaborative hospitality community works like one team, so you never plan alone. Stop by Booth #D3552 and see why Atlanta is on a different level.
