The Georgia International Convention Center or GICC, opened in April 2003, is the second largest convention center in the U.S. state of Georgia: second only to the Georgia World Congress Center. It is located at 2000 Convention Center Concourse, just off Camp Creek Parkway (S.R. 6) and Roosevelt Highway (U.S. 29) in College Park. The Convention Center is serviced by the College Park MARTA station, Interstate 285 and Interstate 85.
Currently, behind the Convention Center, the new Atlanta Airport people-mover called ATL Skytrain, connects Airport patrons with the new rental car complex, four hotel accommodations, restaurants at the Gateway Center of the Georgia International Convention Center.
It has a number of exhibit halls, meeting rooms and ballrooms that can be rented.

Famous quotes containing the words georgia, convention and/or center:
“Being a Georgia author is a rather specious dignity, on the same order as, for the pig, being a Talmadge ham.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“There is nothing more natural than to consider everything as starting from oneself, chosen as the center of the world; one finds oneself thus capable of condemning the world without even wanting to hear its deceitful chatter.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
