Corporate Events

A venue built to move your business forward.

From executive retreats and product launches to client entertaining and company celebrations, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights gives your business a setting that stands apart from a typical hotel ballroom or conference center. 

Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta on Pemberton Place, the Center combines striking architecture, full AV capabilities, and flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, easy for local teams and out-of-town guests to reach.

Why Businesses Choose the Center

Beyond the architecture and the skyline views, the Center gives your event a sense of purpose a typical venue can’t. Organizations use their time here to foster empathy, collaboration, and leadership development in a setting that encourages genuine reflection and connection, whether that’s a leadership offsite, a client dinner, or a company-wide celebration. Every rental includes full AV support and coordination with our minority-owned vendor network, so your team can focus on the event instead of the logistics behind it.

The Center is built for a wide range of corporate occasions, including:

  • Executive retreats and offsites 
  • Product launches and brand activations 
  • Company celebrations and anniversaries 
  • Client dinners and entertaining 
  • Employee appreciation events 
  • Corporate holiday and seasonal gatherings
