CORPORATE AV & EVENT PRODUCTION FOR EVENTS AT THE OMNI ATLANTA HOTEL AT CENTENNIAL PARK

Planning an event at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park? 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 the Omni Atlanta we can provide or coordinate ballroom and meeting room 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 — subject to the hotel’s in-house AV arrangements and outside-vendor policy.

The Omni Atlanta sits in the middle of the Centennial Park district with direct connections to State Farm Arena, the Georgia World Congress Center and the College Football Hall of Fame, which makes it a common base for programs that use more than one of those buildings.

Two features shape production here. The hotel splits its event space across two towers, which makes wayfinding and crew logistics a real consideration for multi-room programs. And its glass-enclosed terrace space is bright — a lovely room that punishes anyone who specifies projection for it.

DISPLAY

Content people can read.

  • Projection and screens sized against the room
  • Large-format displays for smaller and brighter spaces

Event Types

TYPES OF EVENTS WE CAN SUPPORT

Most of what we are asked for here is conference and gala work, often as part of a program using the surrounding venues too.

CONFERENCE GENERAL SESSIONS

Ballroom main-room production with PA, presentation management, IMAG and show calling. See general session production.

MULTI-TRACK CONFERENCES

Breakouts across both towers under one frequency plan and one presentation process. See conference AV.

TERRACE RECEPTIONS

Daylight receptions in the glass-enclosed terrace space, where displays beat projection and audio has to work in a hard, bright room.

AWARDS GALAS

Ballroom dinners with program audio, award playback, IMAG, lighting and an after-party. See awards gala production.

PRODUCT LAUNCHES

Launches and announcements using the hotel’s larger rooms and its proximity to the convention district. See product launch production.

STREAMED & HYBRID SESSIONS

Sessions delivered to remote attendees over dedicated connectivity. See hybrid event production.

Planning

PLANNING AV AT THE OMNI ATLANTA HOTEL

Four practical notes for producing an event here.

Event space spans two towers

The hotel’s meeting inventory is split across its north and south towers. For a single-room event that is irrelevant; for a multi-track conference it means attendee wayfinding, crew movement between rooms and equipment transport all take longer than a floor plan suggests. A roaming technician covering rooms in two towers covers less ground than one covering rooms on a single corridor, and the crew plan should reflect that.

The meeting rooms are named for Georgia trees

Charming, and a genuine signage consideration. Room names that do not encode a floor or a tower mean attendees rely on signage and printed agendas more heavily than in a hotel with numbered rooms. Worth over-communicating in your program materials, and worth confirming your session-to-room assignments early so signage and AV both land in the right places.

The terrace is a bright room

A glass-enclosed terrace space is a beautiful reception room and a difficult projection room. Ambient daylight defeats a projected image regardless of brightness, so content there should be on large-format displays or LED. The same glass and hard surfaces also make the room acoustically live, which pushes audio toward distributed coverage near the guests rather than a single stack.

Published dimensions should be confirmed

Ballroom and meeting room figures published by third-party listing sites frequently lag the property’s current configuration. Get room dimensions, ceiling heights and dividable configurations from the hotel for your dates. 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 ballroom general session with breakouts across both towers

An illustrative configuration for a one-day conference with a ballroom general session and four breakouts split between the two towers. 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
Ballroom PA with even coverage to the back and corners, mixed live
Microphones
Podium, handheld and lavalier channels, frequency coordinated across every room in use
Display
Large screen with presentation switching in the ballroom; displays rather than projection in any daylight space
IMAG
Camera magnification where ballroom depth requires it, with the session recorded
Breakouts
Independent audio and display in four rooms, with the crew plan accounting for movement between towers
Wayfinding
Room assignments confirmed early so AV, signage and printed agendas agree with each other
Reception
Distributed audio and uplighting in the terrace space, with displays for branded content
Streaming
Program feed encoded over dedicated wired connectivity ordered in advance
Crew
Ballroom crew plus breakout coverage sized for a two-tower layout, across load-in, rehearsal, show and strike

Worth knowing

Two-tower layouts consistently need one more technician than the room count suggests. Walking time is real, and a technician who arrives after a session starts is not covering that session.

OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS VENUE

Atlanta Music Pros is not affiliated with the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park

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 Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park 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

Can you provide AV at the Omni Atlanta Hotel?

We can provide or coordinate ballroom and meeting room audio, microphones, general session production, IMAG, projection or LED, breakout AV, streaming, lighting, staging and entertainment, subject to the hotel’s in-house AV arrangements and outside-vendor policy. As with any convention hotel, confirm that policy and any associated fee in writing before comparing quotes.

Should we use projection in the terrace space?

We would not recommend it. A glass-enclosed daylight space defeats a projected image at practically any brightness, and no projector specification solves it. Large-format displays or LED hold up in ambient light and are the right call there. The same glass and hard surfaces also make the room acoustically live, so audio wants distributed coverage near guests rather than a single loud position.

Does the two-tower layout affect the AV plan?

For multi-room programs, yes. Crew movement, equipment transport and attendee wayfinding all take longer than a floor plan implies, and a roaming technician covering rooms in two towers covers less ground than one on a single corridor. Practically it usually means one more technician than the room count suggests, which is cheaper than a session that starts without support.

Can you cover an event that uses the hotel and State Farm Arena or the GWCC?

Yes, and the connectivity between those buildings is a real advantage for multi-venue programs. The important thing is treating it as one production: one wireless frequency plan across everything in use, one presentation collection process, and one crew that knows the full schedule. Each building will have its own vendor and access requirements to work within.

Are the published room dimensions reliable?

Treat third-party listing figures as indicative rather than authoritative — they often lag a property’s current configuration. Get room dimensions, ceiling heights and dividable configurations from the hotel for your actual dates. Ceiling height in particular matters, because it caps both stage height and screen height and can force a different display approach entirely.

Can you provide entertainment for a reception here?

Yes. Reception and dinner music, a DJ for an after-party, an MC for a program and live musicians for cocktails all come from the same contract as the technical production. For events in the terrace or a ballroom reception, entertainment is usually the larger part of the brief, with the technical requirement limited to distributed audio, a microphone and lighting.

REQUEST A QUOTE FOR THIS VENUE

Tell us which rooms you have been assigned and in which tower, plus whether any of the program is in a daylight space. Those two details change the display and crew plan more than the guest count does.
