  • 2017 Annual Report GWCCA 2017 ANNUAL REPORT “The Only Time You Should Ever Look Back Is to See How Far You’Ve Come.” – Author Unknown
    THEN. NOW. NEXT. 2017 Annual Report GWCCA 2017 ANNUAL REPORT “The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you’ve come.” – Author Unknown When you reflect on the brief history of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, truer words have never been spoken. It all started with the Georgia World Congress Center hosting the American Apparel Manufacturers Association’s Bobbin Show in one exhibition hall with 350,000 square feet. Today, the GWCC encompasses 3.9 million square feet and is embarking on an expansion to improve the facility’s connectivity while bolstering Atlanta’s status as a top convention destination. Just over 20 years ago, a multi-block eyesore in the middle of downtown Atlanta was transformed into Centennial Olympic Park to welcome the world’s visitors during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. In July 2016, the Authority celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Centennial Olympic Games, and the Park as the lasting legacy to those games. Today, the Park is known for its role as a downtown entertainment nexus, and preservation of the Park for future generations is in full swing with numerous high-profile capital improvement projects. THEN. In March 2017, the Georgia Dome closed its doors for the last time. An iconic history filled with football, basketball, concerts, graduations, the Olympics, one tornado and a million memories, the Dome changed the landscape of Atlanta by making major bid events possible on the INSIDE Authority’s campus. She paved the way for her successor, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the GWCCA’s now 220-acre campus to host the College 4 Event Highlights Football Playoff National Championship Game in 2018, Super Bowl LIII NOW.
