EXECUTIVE CONFERENCE CENTER CELEBRATES 10th ANNIVERSARY

Amazing how time flies at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It has been 10 years since the Executive Conference Center opened its doors – in the midst of the 1996 Summer Olympics -- for passengers to conduct business inside the Atlanta Airport.

The Center has reached a major milestone, marking one decade of existence.

The Center is conveniently located in the Atrium of the Airport terminal. Its goal is to be relentlessly customer service focused, developing and maintaining customer relationships through superb service and communication. The Center has consistently earned high guest satisfaction ratings and it maintains more than a 50 percent repeat customer base.

The Center opened with three employees, serving clients only during City Hall’s regular business hours of 8:15 a.m. until 5 p.m. Food was not allowed in the Center and tables and chairs could not be arranged according to request. It began as a cookie cutter operation. Now the Center’s operating hours may be adjusted to meet customer needs and meals are offered as part of the sales packages. With its 23 meeting rooms, a variety of room layouts are available to accommodate various sized groups. The Executive Conference Center averages hosting from 80 to 100-plus meetings and events monthly. Its clientele includes many of the major Fortune 100 companies and national and international companies with corporate locations in Atlanta or the Southeast. The Center has been featured in Meetings South and Meetings West magazines, as well as England’s Airports of the World magazine.

EXECUTIVE LUXURY

The Executive Conference Center is a full service, state-of-the-art meeting facility. It is meticulously designed with upscale features including marble floors, mahogany woodwork and more. The International Association of Conference Centers (IACC) has certified the Center, recognizing its superb services and facility qualities for successful meetings. The Center consists of approximately 25,000 square feet of space, 23 meeting rooms, including classrooms, boardrooms, a VIP suite and computer workstations. Meeting rooms boast ergonomically designed chairs, controlled lighting, and the quietness and privacy so vital to successful meetings.
