 World Congress Center bookings on upswing | ajc.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As of Oct. 31, more than half of the exhibit space at downtown Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center — the fourth-largest convention center in the country — had been booked for next fiscal year, said Pattsie Rand, GWCC director of sales and marketing.

Before opening the expansion, GWCC exhibit space was occupied 65 percent to 70 percent of the time.

 The Georgia World Congress Center, the Fourth-largest Convention Facility in the Country, Reports Less than Peachy ...
The Georgia World Congress Center opened a 1.4 million-square-foot expansion in February 2003 in its effort to keep up with the industry.
The biggest reason for the shortfall, GWCC spokeswoman Katy Pando said, resulted when the GWCC lost revenue from lucrative food and beverage sales after parties from two of its biggest shows this past summer were moved to the Georgia Dome and Centennial Olympic Park.
But that was still a win for the Georgia World Congress Center overall, she said, because the dome and park are part of the GWCC's authority.
