Conferences
Room to think big, right in downtown Atlanta.
A great conference needs more than a ballroom and a projector. The National Center for Civil and Human Rights gives your program a setting substantial enough for a general session, flexible enough for concurrent breakouts, and memorable enough that attendees still talk about it after they’ve gone home.
Located on Pemberton Place in downtown Atlanta, the Center pairs easy access for local and out-of-town attendees with full AV infrastructure, and flexible square footage to run your entire program under one roof.
A Space That Rises to the Occasion
Conferences held here don’t feel like others. Between sessions, attendees move through galleries and spaces that spark real conversation, giving your program a sense of substance that a standard convention center can’t match. Every rental includes full AV support and coordination with our minority-owned vendor network, so your team can focus on programming, and not production.
The Center accommodates conferences of nearly any format, including:
- Multi-day conferences and summits
- Single- and multi-track programming
- Association and member conferences
- Industry symposiums
- Trainings and certification programs
- Hybrid in-person and livestreamed sessions
