INTERWIRE PREVIEW
meet Reception TUESDAY, APRIL 28 | 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Interwire 2015/GCCF attendees will enjoy a collegiate flavor at reception Interwire attendees may be very familiar with the city of Atlanta, but unless you’ve been there recently there is a new attraction that will be a welcome surprise for sporting-minded attendees (and even those who aren’t!): the College Football Hall of Fame, which will host WAI’s reception. The $68.5 million, three-story building, completed last August, houses the College Football Hall of Fame, which was previously located in South Bend, Indiana. The “Fan Experience” includes museum-quality memorabilia and interactive, multi-media exhibits. The site, adjacent to the Georgia World Congress Center and Centennial Olympic Park, covers 94,256 sq ft, and is designed to entertain and educate visitors while celebrating the traditions of college football. That includes 50,000 sq ft of unique event space, including a 45-yard indoor playing field that can accommodate approximately 900 people for a sit-down meal and up to 1,450 people for a reception.
The WAI reception will offer a gridiron treat for attendees.
