AUGUSTA, Ga.
The Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau is booking events for the new Trade,Exhibit and Event Center, opening later this year. The TEE Center is being built on property connected to the Augusta Marriott at the Convention Center. With 38,000 square feet of new meeting space, the TEE Center increases the center's capacity and functionality to over 100,000 square feet.
"We are now able to bring in larger groups with big trade shows," said Peggy Seigler, the Augusta Convention and Visitors Bureau's vice president of sales and marketing. "The TEE Center's riverfront location will be a strong draw for attendees, who can easily walk to and enjoy the scenic Savannah River, downtown shops, unique restaurants and Artists Row."
The TEE Center is designed to convey a light, open feel. One of the unique features of the TEE Center is the absence of columns, which makes the space adaptable for a wide variety of floor layouts and event plans. Foot traffic can be routed and exhibits situated in multiple configurations. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels will allow natural light into the center, with doors that can open onto continuous outdoor space.
The TEE Center is located in Augusta, Ga., approximately 150 miles east of Atlanta. Augusta is the second oldest and second largest city in Georgia and boasts 6,000 hotel rooms and 300 restaurants.
