Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) -
Guest parking will be in Lots C, D, and E. These spaces are somewhat limited and we are encouraging guests to pre-purchase those tickets on the ParkMobile platform. That link will be shared with graduates for distribution as needed. There will also be an opportunity to pay by credit or debit card at the gate. No cash will be accepted. Once the GICC lots have filled, guests will be directed by event staff to offsite parking adjacent to the rear of the GICC campus. This parking is further away, so please alert your guests to plan accordingly.
GICC has limited ADA parking available in lot C. We will also have a drop off area for our mobility impaired guests. It is located at the east end of Walt Bellamy Way along the front of GICC. Please notify the event staff and you will be directed to the turnaround.
