Dear
Customers,
Atlanta is open for business. The Georgia
World Congress Center (GWCC) authorities announced
Wednesday that two conventions planned for
later this month in Atlanta will continue
as scheduled. International Window Coverings
Expo, scheduled for March 26-29, and National
Propane Gas Association, March 29-31, will
be held at the GWCC in Building C.
This announcement
reflects the tremendous progress that has been
made throughout Atlanta over the past five days
since a series of severe storms struck the city
on Friday evening. Staff at the GWCC have been
working around the clock to repair damage to
the nation’s
fourth largest convention center. The opening
of the International Window Coverings Expo
will mean that no conventions have moved
from Atlanta and that the GWCC is ready to
accommodate meetings and conventions.
Thanks
to hard work by the staff at the Georgia World
Congress Center Authority, our hotel community,
public safety officials and all of our hospitality
community we are ready to roll out the welcome
mat for our visitors.
Sincerely,
Spurgeon Richardson
President and CEO
Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau |
