CORPORATE AV & EVENT PRODUCTION FOR EVENTS AT THE COBB CONVENTION CENTER ATLANTA (FORMERLY COBB GALLERIA CENTRE)

Planning an event at the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta? Atlanta Music Pros can help coordinate audio, video, lighting, entertainment and production requirements, subject to the venue’s policies and vendor requirements. For events at this facility we can provide or coordinate exhibit hall and ballroom audio, wireless microphones, general session production, IMAG and multi-camera video, projection and LED, breakout room AV, live streaming, stage lighting, staging and corporate entertainment — working within the facility’s own exhibitor services and requirements.

The facility formerly known as Cobb Galleria Centre now operates as the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta, at Two Galleria Parkway in the Cumberland and Galleria district. It reopened in January 2026 with new branding after a four-month closure, and a $190 million expansion and renovation reached its topping-out milestone in May 2026.

That renovation is the single most important planning fact about this venue right now. Published room dimensions, capacities and configurations from before the work may no longer describe the building, so anything you design against should come from the facility for your actual dates rather than from a listing site or an old floor plan.

Planning

PLANNING AV AT THE COBB CONVENTION CENTER ATLANTA

Three notes, the first of which matters more here than at any other Atlanta venue right now.

Verify everything against the post-renovation building

A major expansion and renovation changes room dimensions, ceiling heights, dividable configurations, rigging structure, power distribution and load-in routes. Third-party listing sites and archived floor plans lag those changes by a long way. For an event here, get current dimensions, capacities, ceiling heights and access details from the facility for your dates before any screen size, stage height or lighting position is designed.

Exhibitor services and ordering

The facility operates exhibitor services with online ordering. What your event must order through that channel, and what an outside production company may bring and install, is set by the facility and your license agreement. Establish it in writing during scoping so an outside quote can be compared honestly against the alternative.

The Galleria complex context

The facility sits under the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority alongside the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, with a connected hotel in the complex. For multi-part programs that adjacency is useful; it also means asking what else is running in the complex during your dates, since parking and access are shared. Venue policies, outside-vendor requirements, power, internet, loading access and production restrictions should be confirmed with the venue during pre-production. Many hotels, arenas and convention facilities maintain in-house AV departments, exclusive service providers, union labor rules, rigging approvals and outside-vendor fees, and those terms decide what any outside company can do in the room.

Example

EXAMPLE PRODUCTION CONFIGURATION

Example configuration — illustrative, not a past project

A 300-person corporate general session with an evening awards banquet

An illustrative configuration for a day session that becomes an awards dinner. Room specifics would be confirmed against the current post-renovation configuration. This is a hypothetical illustration of how a production of this shape fits together. It is not a past project, not a quote and not a price.

Main room audio
PA sized to the assigned ballroom with even coverage, mixed live
Microphones
Podium, handheld and lavalier channels, frequency coordinated across all rooms in use
Display
Screen sized against current room depth and ceiling height, confirmed post-renovation
IMAG
Camera magnification where room depth requires it, with the session recorded
Lighting
Front key light and stage wash for the session, plus branded uplighting for the evening
Staging
Stage and screen heights set against the seating layout and the room’s current ceiling height
Evening program
Award playback with name graphics, lighting cues per award, and an MC running the running order
After-party
A rehearsed transition from program to dance floor with a DJ, rather than a dead room while equipment moves
Facility orders
Power and internet ordered through exhibitor services ahead of advance deadlines
Crew
Load-in, rehearsal, day session, evening program and strike

Worth knowing

Ceiling height is the detail most worth re-confirming after a renovation. It caps both stage height and screen height, and it can force a different display approach entirely.

OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS VENUE

Atlanta Music Pros is not affiliated with the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta

This page exists because planners search for AV help by venue. It does not indicate any affiliation, endorsement, partnership, preferred-vendor status or approved-vendor status, and we make no claim to any. the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta is named here only to describe the kind of production planning an event in that building involves.

Whether an outside production company can work in a given space, and on what terms, is decided by the venue and by your own contract with it. We will work within those terms, and we will tell you plainly when something you have asked for is not ours to promise.

Questions We Actually Get

CORPORATE AV FAQS

Is Cobb Galleria Centre the same venue as the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta?

Yes. The facility formerly known as Cobb Galleria Centre now operates as the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta. It reopened in January 2026 with new branding following a four-month closure, and a $190 million expansion and renovation reached its topping-out milestone in May 2026. The location, Two Galleria Parkway in the Galleria complex, is unchanged.

Can you provide AV at the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta?

We can provide or coordinate exhibit and ballroom audio, microphones, general session production, IMAG, projection or LED, breakout AV, streaming, lighting, staging and entertainment, working within the facility’s exhibitor services and requirements. What must be ordered through the facility and what an outside company may bring is set by the facility and your license agreement, so confirm it in writing during scoping.

Why do you say published room dimensions may be wrong?

Because a major expansion and renovation changes dimensions, ceiling heights, dividable configurations, rigging structure, power distribution and load-in routes, and third-party listing sites lag those changes considerably. For an event here, get current figures from the facility for your dates before designing a screen size, stage height or lighting position around them. Ceiling height in particular is worth re-confirming.

Does the renovation affect load-in?

Potentially, since renovations frequently change dock locations, routes and freight access. Since load-in access is the main driver of labor hours in a production quote, it is worth confirming current dock arrangements, access windows and any construction-related restrictions with the facility rather than assuming what was true before the work started.

Who else is in the Galleria complex?

The facility sits under the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority alongside the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, with a connected hotel in the complex. That adjacency is useful for multi-part programs. It also means parking and access are shared, so asking what else is running in the complex during your dates is a worthwhile question.

Is this a good venue for northwest-metro companies?

For organizations in Marietta, Smyrna, Vinings and the Cumberland corridor it removes a drive into Downtown for attendees, with straightforward parking and a connected hotel for anyone staying over. For programs with a lot of out-of-town attendees flying in, the Downtown or airport facilities have a stronger adjacency argument. We work across all of them and will say which fits your program.
