What To Know About The Georgia International Convention Center

When the CHEERSPORT Atlanta Classic returns to College Park, Georgia, and the Georgia International Convention Center in 2024, the city and venue both will be familiar to some competitors, while newcomers are in for a treat.

The first thing they may notice is the ease of travel, especially for those who may be flying in. 

The convention center is less than a mile from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The airport actually is so close to the GICC that participants and guests can get to the venue by car or by the free ATL SkyTrain, as the two locations are connected.

Once at Georgia’s newest and second-largest convention center, visitors will see more than 300,000 square feet of space, more than 7,000 nearby hotel rooms and top-of-the-line accommodations and technology.

Check out this virtual tour of the facility and a unique look at the whole area.

The fine folks at the GICC also operate the Gateway Center Arena, a 5,000-seat venue that hosts sporting events, concerts, shows, graduations conventions and more.

The Gateway Center Arena is the home of the Atlanta Dream, a professional women’s basketball team and the College Park Skyhawks, the G League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks. 

But wait, there’s more! 

For anyone who might be in town early, the Skyhawks will be playing the Cleveland Charge on March 1 at 7 p.m. Eastern. 

Then, on the afternoon of March 3, depending on when cheer teams are competing, of course, they may want to sneak over to the arena to see the Skyhawks take on the G League Ignite.
