What To Know About The Georgia World Congress Center

When the CHEERSPORT National All Star Cheerleading Championship returns to Atlanta and the Georgia World Congress Center in 2024, it should be familiar territory for many competitors and their guests, while others will get to enjoy Atlanta’s charm and hospitality for the first time.

The GWCC is located in downtown Atlanta and features 1.5 million square feet of exhibit space, which allows for flexibility in hosting a variety of events. It opened in 1976 and has been through three expansions – 1985, 1992 and 2002 – to keep up with growth and demands.

The venue now has a dozen exhibit halls in all, two ballrooms, three auditoriums, nearly 100 meeting rooms, landscaped outdoor spaces and approximately 7,000 parking spaces. 

The convention center is just a piece of an expansive campus overseen by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority. 

The campus spans more than 220 acres and also includes Centennial Olympic Park (from the 1996 Summer Olympic Games) and Mercedez-Benz Stadium (home of the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United).

An on-site hotel scheduled to open in 2024 – Signia by Hilton Atlanta.

Things To Do In The Atlanta Area  

Click HERE to learn more about the Atlanta area. Click HERE to learn specifically about downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, and with a rich history that spans nearly 200 years, the city has played a large role in shaping the America we know and enjoy today, first as a rail hub, as the birthplace of Coca-Cola and as a major center for the Civil Rights Movement (it was home to Martin Luther King Jr.).

As the host of the Summer Olympics in 1996, Atlanta received many updates and new facilities, while the area also became a hub for Delta Airlines.

The long story short here, is that for history buffs, two centuries of history means there’s so much to see and learn about when there’s time away from the competition. 

If turning back time isn’t your thing, however, there are many exciting, uplifting and fun things to see and experience, beginning with the Centennial Olympic Park and the Centennial Park District, all within walking distance of the convention center. 

There’s also the Georgia Aquarium, College Football Hall of Fame, Children’s Museum of Atlanta, Peachtree Trolley and the World of Coca-Cola, where visitors can learn about the history of Coke and try more than 100 beverages from around the world.

Those are just a few of the amazing things nearby. HERE is a more complete list, including some of the best places to eat and drink.

One of the other benefits of traveling to compete is the chance to enjoy food and culture from different regions. 

The Atlanta area certainly has a long list of delicious things to try and enjoy, including BBQ, fried chicken, chicken and dumplings, shrimp and grits, Brunswick stew, cornbread, pecan pie, peach cobbler, greens, biscuits and gravy, fried pies and hot dogs at The Varsity, sweet tea – even seafood.

The League by Varsity All Star

The League by Varsity All Star is the official ranking system for the sport of All Star cheerleading, changing the conversation from “Who won the weekend?” to “Who ranks at the top this season?” 

Every team that competes at a Varsity All Star Event this season will be included in The League by Varsity All Star. 

Team rankings are determined by the Points System displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value. 

At the end of the season, your five best Varsity All Star event scores will be used to calculate your final rank. 

In total, 120 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions, meaning 40 champions will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
