Imagine you’re a meeting planner who has discovered the unparalleled convenience of the ATL Airport District. You’ve toured the only convention center connected to a major US airport, been impressed by the selection of elevated hotels within a three-mile radius of the world’s most traveled airport, and felt the welcoming energy of Atlanta’s Southside. The sales team has promptly answered all your questions and provided you with a detailed service flyer outlining the complimentary planning assistance available. You make your selections, sign the dotted line, and now the fun part begins – planning your event.
Working with the ATL Airport District CVB team offers the benefit of having local experts at your disposal throughout the planning process. Once you’ve landed on a District venue, our dedicated Destination Services team led by Rylee Govoreau is here to assist in a multitude of ways. Here’s a look at how partnering with us can elevate your event – at no cost to you!
A Red Carpet Welcome
After confirming your event at your chosen hotel or venue, Rylee will introduce herself and go over the complimentary services selected during the sales process. If you opted for personalized welcome touches such as custom signage at hotels and/or the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC), smiling faces to greet attendees at the airport, or welcome remarks from our president, Rylee will ensure everything is perfectly executed to make attendees feel valued upon arrival.
Rylee will also equip you with valuable local resources, like our Deals in the District link, dining guides, and entertainment options that can be easily shared with attendees ahead of your event.
A Direct Connection to Suppliers, Vendors & Off-Site Venues
Creating an unforgettable event often means thinking outside the box. With strong relationships with local partners, Rylee can help you source whatever you need. From recommending transportation vendors to identifying unique off-site experiences, she has the connections to make it happen.
For example, during the 2024 Child Development Schools Leadership Conference held at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel, our team worked closely with meeting planner Jenny Cope to round out an experience-rich itinerary. Through our recommendation, she arranged a rejuvenating retreat at The Wellness Spot, where a select group of employees were treated to pampering spa services followed by an intimate reception.
Rylee’s knowledge extends to dining recommendations as well. From steering clients to Restaurant 356 at the Porsche Experience Center Atlanta for a wow-worthy welcome dinner to personally making reservations for a board member dinner in the Corner Grille's private dining space, we strive to showcase the District's incredible dining scene.
When the planners of the 2024 Paytech Women's Conference needed a convenient venue to accommodate a large off-site dinner, Rylee assisted with coordinating an incredible experience at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC). Attendees were able to stroll over from their host hotel on the Gateway Center Campus hotel to enjoy the renowned on-site catering by Proof @ GICC.
Tailored Marketing Support
For qualified planners looking to boost attendance or ticket sales, Rylee will bring in our marketing team for tailored promotional support. This could include custom digital and print signage, social media ads, PR assistance, and more.
For the PayTech Women’s Conference, we customized our easy-to-share digital one-sheet with their logo, highlighted women-owned businesses, and featured a welcome video from College Park Mayor Bianca Motley-Broom.
When United Futsal hosted its East Coast Conference Tournament at the GICC, our team created a video ad to drive local spectator attendance.
We created a custom landing page featuring local gym and health food information for athletes visiting the area for the USA Collegiate Powerlifting Nationals and produced a destination hype video to draw athletes from across the country to register for the competition.
Our marketing team provided comprehensive event capture through local videographer Grace First Video for the Child Development Schools Leadership Conference, offering a recap video and event photos for future marketing use.
When you choose to work with the ATL Airport District, you gain more than a venue – you gain a partner committed to your success! Ready to start planning? Reach out to our dedicated sales team or submit an RFP today!
