The Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) is a public facilities operator in the hospitality sector, based in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It oversees a portfolio of venues that together support large-scale events, including Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the 3.9 million-square-foot Georgia World Congress Center, 21-acre Centennial Olympic Park, and Signia by Hilton Atlanta. The authority also manages operations at the Savannah Convention Center, extending its reach beyond one city. Taken as a whole, these facilities form a sizable complex that accommodates conventions, sporting events, and entertainment programs. GWCCA serves event organizers, exhibitors, attendees, and fans who require integrated spaces for conferences, exhibitions, and live events. In 2025 the organization announced a master plan to redevelop 20 acres of adjacent parking into a mixed-use district with housing, offices, retail, and green space, signaling an expansion of its community footprint. The authority operates at the intersection of hospitality and public infrastructure, managing venues that host a variety of large-scale public events in the Atlanta region.
