The convention center is less than a mile from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, so traveling in and out should be a breeze. It’s 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.
