Booking tips for GWCC events
- Book at least 6 weeks out for major GWCC conventions. Room blocks fill fast and rates spike in the final two weeks before large trade shows.
- The Omni says it is directly connected to the GWCC, which matters during Atlanta's summer heat or afternoon thunderstorms.
- SEC District MARTA station is on the Blue and Green lines. For Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, change at Five Points to the Red or Gold line, about 20 minutes on the train.
- If your event runs late, ask whether the on-site restaurants at the Omni and Signia are still serving.
- Ask each hotel about group WiFi bandwidth when you book meeting rooms. Standard room WiFi and conference room WiFi are often on separate networks with different speed tiers.
