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.

“Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find, just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.”
—Stuart Gorrell (d. 1963)
“No good poetry is ever written in a manner twenty years old, for to write in such a manner shows conclusively that the writer thinks from books, convention and cliché, not from real life.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
