Accessibility is a top priority at the Georgia World Congress Center. From parking to the trade show floor, the GWCC is ADA compliant. There are ramps at all entrances. Restroom facilities for disabled patrons are provided throughout the facility. They offer ample designated accessible parking, several passenger drop-off areas, and convenient curb cuts for easy access. The GWCC has limited manual push wheelchairs available for use by attendees at no charge while in the building.

Mobility scooters are also available through Mobility Georgia. Please click here to reserve a scooter in advance as only a limited number will be available onsite in Halls B and C lobbies.

The act of soliciting business in the aisles during the exhibit or in other public spaces, including another company’s booth or a hotel lobby is prohibited by Coverings and Show Management, and anyone observed approaching buyers in the aisle or in an exhibitor’s booth, who is not a legitimate exhibitor, should be reported to Show Management.

Exhibitors must authorize all photographs of their booth. Should an exhibitor object to their display being photographed, photographs of that display will be prohibited.

The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) operates two surface lots (Yellow, Blue) and four parking decks (Green, Red, Orange and Silver). The Red and Blue lots will likely be the most convenient for Coverings visitors. Detailed parking and directions can be found here.
