The 150,000-sq. ft. Exhibit Hall is divisible into four separate halls and can fit over 800 10'x10' booths. Best of all, the GICC boasts Georgia's largest ballroom — 40,000 sq. ft. — with room enough to seat over 3,000 guests. In Fall 2009, the GICC became one of the first facili- ties in the country where event and convention goers were able to fly into an airport, disembark their plane and arrive at the front door of the facility, all without ever getting in a taxi, bus or shuttle. The ATL SkyTrain, a new light rail train project, transports travelers from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to the airport's new Consolidated Rental CarAgency Complex (CONRAC). The 1.4 million sq. ft. CONRAC is the cen- tralized car rental headquarters for Hartsfield-Jackson. The great news for GICC patrons is that the second sta- tion of the APM is at the front door of the GICC, mak- ing it even easier to access the impressive facility.
