Why Choose Our Destination?
Atlanta offers an unparalleled experience as one of the top convention cities in the country. There are many reasons why the destination is a great place for meetings, including its walkable convention and entertainment district. Along with connectivity through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, more than 113,000 hotel rooms in the metro region and the ever-evolving Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) campus, now is the time to book your next event in Atlanta.
Accessibility is one of Atlanta’s strongest assets with a two-hour flight connecting 80 percent of the U.S. population to the city via the airport, providing nonstop service to more than 160 domestic and 75 international destinations. Navigating the city is a breeze upon arrival with MARTA, Atlanta’s rapid rail system. A short train ride directly connects the airport to the meeting districts of Downtown, Midtown and Buckhead, with the city’s famous Peachtree Street serving as the main thoroughfare.
Downtown is home to Atlanta’s walkable convention and entertainment district, as well as Centennial Olympic Park. The 22-acre greenspace serves as Atlanta’s legacy of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The park is surrounded by world-class attractions that double as venues, including Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame, Georgia Aquarium, National Center for Civil and Human Rights and World of Coca-Cola. GWCCA boasts the world’s largest LEED-certified convention center and hosts some of the country’s largest shows with more than 1 million square feet of contiguous exhibit space. The convention center campus is a vibrant hub, featuring the new 976-room Signia by Hilton Atlanta with 100,000 square feet of meeting and event space, adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the expansive 11-acre Home Depot Backyard. Plus, numerous surrounding hotels provide ample additional stay options. Downtown is also experiencing a significant boom, with nearly $950 million in new development projects underway, slated for completion before the FIFA World Cup 2026.
In Midtown, you’ll learn why Atlanta is known as a city in the forest. Piedmont Park serves as an urban oasis and is one of the largest greenspaces in the city. Beneath a canopy of trees, Midtown is one of the most diverse meeting districts with more than 6,500 hotel rooms. Stylish properties provide meeting planners multiple options for small to mid-sized events. Midtown serves as the heart of the arts neighborhood with facilities that showcase Atlanta as the cultural hub of the region. Many can host gatherings of varying sizes from Fox Theatre to High Museum of Art, and attendees are certain to recognize these iconic locations from major film productions.
Continuing north, Buckhead is home to Fortune 500 and 1000 companies, some of Atlanta’s most legendary dining and luxurious hotel properties with nearly 6,500 rooms. Restaurants and the finest international shopping destinations in the Southeast sit along the vibrant Peachtree Street. From historic locations that celebrate Atlanta’s history to rooftop terraces that grant guests incredible skyline views, planners will find that venues in Buckhead take events to the next level.
Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau’s staff will be with you every step of the way once you book your meeting in Atlanta. We work in concert with our hotels, venues, restaurants, attractions and ambassadors to create a seamless meeting experience.

Rock 'n Roll Team Building
Multi-city
Connection. Creativity. Chaos (the fun kind). Available all over the USA!
Forget the icebreakers and trust falls. This is team building that cranks up the volume and gets your people actually connecting — not just collecting another tote bag.
We take your team, hand them a mic (sometimes literally), and turn a room of colleagues into a full-blown rock choir. It’s equal parts live music, laughter, storytelling, and spine-tingling harmony — all tailored to your event.
Here’s What You Get:
• 🎸 Live Music that kicks like a drum solo at Wembley
• 🎤 Storytelling that hits the heart (and the funny bone)
• 🎶 3-Part Harmony Choir — no singing skills required, just good vibes
• 🤘 Audience Improv — spontaneous, unforgettable, and never awkward
• 📝 Custom Song Creation that ties your event together with a chorus your team will hum all the way home
Perfect for:
• 🚀 Launching big ideas
• 🔋 Energizing the middle of a long agenda
• 🎉 Ending on a high that actually gets remembered
We’ve done this with 10 people. We’ve done it with 2,500. Either way, we bring the same stadium-worthy energy. We’re fronted by Grammy-nominated INXS frontman Ciaran Gribbin, backed by world-class musicians, and powered by pure rock ‘n roll spirit.
This isn’t “team building.” It’s a shared experience that gives your people goosebumps, grins, and genuine connection.
Ready to shake things up? Let’s talk.
"Best Team Building I've ever booked. Ciaran and the band were great." Arrow Electronics
"It was absolutely the best team event I have ever run or attended." Lamb Weston
"I can honestly say that Rock 'n Roll Team Building is the best event experience I have ever seen at a conference." Jazz Pharmaceuticals
