Georgia

This southeastern U.S. state is a meetings powerhouse. Atlanta is a major meetings mecca, thanks to the 200-acre Georgia World Congress Center Authority campus, which is within walking distance of more than 13,000 hotel rooms and many downtown attractions. Atlanta’s airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, is a major hub and frequently counted as one of the busiest airports in the world. The development pipeline continues to remain strong, providing meeting planners with increasingly varied options for their events.

Atlanta isn’t all that Georgia has to offer. Savannah, near the Atlantic Coast, is well known for its Southern charm, history and eclectic vibe, making it an on-the-rise meetings and events location. Augusta, near the South Carolina border, offers another fun alternative to Atlanta, with more than 100,000 square feet of meeting space at its convention center and a walkable downtown.
