About us

Just 30 minutes north of Atlanta, the Gas South District features a range of flexible meeting spaces. The 13,000-sf Gas South Arena features a state-of-the-art house reduction system, accommodating groups starting at 3,500 attendees. It's the 'go-to' venue for tradeshows, large faith-based conventions, sporting events, corporate and social events. The Gas South District is in the midst of an exciting expansion that will double the Convention Center's current 50,000-sf Exhibit space to 100,000 sf of Exhibit space, with 15,000-sf of pre-function space. There's also a 22,000-sf grand ballroom, and the $130 million dollar expansion and renovation investment will add new meeting and breakout rooms, enhance, update and improve the facilities and technology. Additional upgrades include outdoor courtyard space, ideal for pre-function events or post-meeting cocktail receptions. The expansion will also add a 347-room, full-service, headquarters hotel, the Westin Atlanta Gwinnett (expected completion date in 2024). Surrounding the campus, a new Gateway Park is under development, creating an enhanced, tree-filled gateway to the District from the surrounding hotels and restaurants. The "Main Street" area fronting the Convention Center is an entertainment district, where guests can enjoy a beverage while they walk to hotel, dining or another on-site event. The Gas South Theater, located adjacent to the Convention Center offers superior technology and 708 fixed seats, ideal for concerts, performing arts, a corporate presentation. We can also offer this space as overflow to an existing Conference at the District, or by adding an entertainment component such as comedy shows! Gas South District 's experienced, professional staff is ready to help secure everything from complex data and audio-visual set-ups to delicate catering logistics. On-site catering is provided by Atlanta's award-winning culinary champs, Proof of the Pudding. The Gas South District staff takes the stress out of event planning, elevating the meeting environment, whether you are planning a virtual, hybrid or live meeting.

Rock 'n Roll Team Building
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
