Athens, Georgia – The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel, also known as the Georgia Center, is a multi-purpose facility perfect for your next daytime meeting, conference, or presentation . Recently, the Georgia Center has acquired new equipment to produce successful virtual, hybrid, or fully in-person day meetings . These technological advancements are key success factors for this extraordinary Georgia venue .
The Georgia Center also takes pride in its professionally trained staff who are ready to work with event planners to coordinate a successful event . Located directly on campus, the Georgia Center shares many of the same resources as the University of Georgia . If you are searching for a venue to host your next day meeting, look no further than the Georgia Center .
This world-class conference center boasts over 38,000 square feet of meeting, exhibit, and banquet space. A majority of this space is home to a flexible ballroom, large meeting rooms, an auditorium, conference rooms, a computer lab, boardrooms, and private dining rooms. Talk about versatility! Working with the staff at the Georgia Center will be an integral element in the planning process to ensure you have the perfect space for your gathering .
The rest of the event space is home to communal areas that are perfect for exhibits or vendor space. Planners of conferences or expos love to utilize this space . These open areas are also used as spaces for refreshment breaks to encourage networking and connecting with the people around you .
The Georgia Center is so popular for day meetings that they even created their own package for planners to select! Instead of charging for room rentals and audio/ visual fees, the Georgia Center created the Day Meeting Package that ties all expenses into one easy bundle. This provides planners the assurance of appropriate space and servicing at a set per-person daily fee . The audio/visual package in each meeting space includes a projector, screen, and a microphone . High-speed WiFi is complimentary for the guests and available in all gathering spaces . The Day Meeting Package also offers beverage service and refreshment breaks. How convenient is that?
Event planners will enjoy working with the experienced professionals at the Georgia Center because the staff is passionate about helping you create an event customized to your needs. If you are looking for a unique experience for your guests, ask about having a breakout session for attendees at the State Botanical Gardens, located on the University of Georgia’s campus . Whether your event is virtual, hybrid, or fully in-person, the Georgia Center is ready to help create an unforgettable experience for your guests .
The uniqueness of the Georgia Center is that it also doubles as a hotel – perfect for on-site accommodations for your guests . The Georgia heat will stand no chance as your guests enjoy air-conditioned rooms and suites . Attendees will love the convenience of staying overnight on campus and having all of the meeting spaces right outside of their hotel door .
If you plan on utilizing the on-campus catering services, guests will only be steps away from a delicious meal during their stay . After their meeting or conference takes a lunch break or concludes at the end of the day, they will travel to the banquet area of the property to enjoy their meal . Connecting with other attendees is highly encouraged while eating at one of the eight-person round tables in the facility. Guests can also enjoy one of the 20 restaurants located within a mile of the Georgia Center . If your guests love food and trying new cuisine, Athens is the city for them!
Located 60 miles from Atlanta, the Georgia Center is a reasonable day’s commute for a meeting, presentation, or conference in Athens . For out-oftown guests, a commercial shuttle service is offered to transport attendees from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to the Georgia Center numerous times a day .
After your event ends, make sure to stick around and take in all of the local attractions in Athens . If you are lucky, you might have the opportunity to catch an SEC football game at Sanford Stadium or a basketball game at Stegeman Coliseum .
Off-campus, meeting attendees will find a variety of local attractions. Downtown Athens is filled with antique shops, restaurants, and boutiques – a little something for everyone! Art lovers will enjoy exploring the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art . Lastly, enjoy a performance at either Morton Theatre or Georgia Theatre.
