ATLANTA – Events in June at the Cobb Galleria Centre filled 4,739 hotel rooms, generating an economic impact of $1.4 million on Cobb County.

 

Three major events, the House Hasson Dealer Market, the Blade Show and International Cutlery Fair and the Salvation Army, booked large hotel blocks for their shows while at Cobb Galleria Centre, having a major economic impact on the community.

 

“While Cobb Galleria Centre hosts numerous local corporate and social events, our primary focus is bringing visitors to the community through our trade shows and conventions,” says Michele Swann, General Manager and CEO of the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, owner of the Cobb Galleria Centre.  “These visitors have a significant financial impact on not only the businesses within the Cumberland/Galleria area, but throughout Cobb County — filling hotel rooms, eating at restaurants, shopping, and visiting local attractions.” 

 

Located in the beautifully landscaped 88-acre Galleria complex in prestigious northwest Atlanta, Cobb Galleria Centre is Atlanta’s premiere convention facility with 320,000 square feet of event space, 4 exhibition halls, 20 meeting rooms, 4 executive boardrooms and a grand ballroom. The Cobb-Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority is the governing body of the Cobb Galleria Centre, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and Galleria Specialty Shops.
