This place needs to be torn down and rebuilt. What is with all the escalators! Traffic around the place was dreadful. Foods was bad. It’s just not a good place to hold a conference. Avoid!
I liked that it was so close to the hotel. It is an older,well used building. The seminar we attended involved a lot of mobility impaired folks, and the walk between classrooms was too far, but I don't thing that was the Centers fault.
The Convention Center is a massive complex. It is located close to the Atlanta Airport , which makes for an easy place to get to and from. There were no dislikes, the place is fantastic!!!
Great facility for this type of event. Staff was very helpful and the facility was clean. Great location near the Springhill Suites hotel which was also a great place to stay for a short trip.
I travel here for the IBJJF events that take place. Always a great set up - and easy to navigate. Although the size of the place would easily allow you to get a several mile workout in.
Very convenient to access from Hartsfield Airport. The train from airport to GICC is very nice, clean and comfortable. Also, it is a very short distance on train.
A very large building. Good place to have a conventions. 10 Dollars a day to park was not appreciated. Traffic in and out moved fast. Food is extremely overpriced. Bottles water was 4 dollars. Take my advice and bring your own food and water.
As always, it's expensive to park; $10/day and if you left during the day, which a lot of people do when you are there for two full days of competition and want to go out to a restaurant for lunch, they charge you another $5 to return even with your parking stub. That was pretty crummy.
The proximity of the GICC to the Atlanta Airport via the Sky Train makes it an ideal corporate event space. You can be at the convention center within 30 minutes of arriving at the Airport Gate if you are carrying on luggage only. There are also two nice hotels in two price ranges to accommodate any attendees. All corporate event planners should consider this a very good option for their event.
3 minute SkyTrain ride from the terminal, my speakers and staff love the convenience. Meeting space and food were above par, too.
