Macon Convention Center

The Macon Convention Center is part of the Macon Centreplex consisting of a large Coliseum and Convention center. This huge complex is situated 80 miles south of Atlanta and two miles off of I-75. Its location close to nearly two-thirds of Georgia's population makes this an ideal convention and entertainment resource. The over 100,000 square ft. convention center compliments the 9,200 capacity Macon Coliseum, Georgia's largest convention/event facility. This complex is a perfect site for just about any occasion. Some of the more widely held venues include conventions, large and small, business functions and meeting, educational settings, trade shows, parties, banquets, and receptions. The relatively new facilities contain state of the art lighting and fixtures. The coliseum serves as the entertainment center of middle Georgia and the surrounding counties. Major renovations took place in the late 1990's. Many celebrities have entertained full-house crowds in the facility going back to 1968. Some of these celebrities include such greats as Elvis, Billy Joel, Reba McEntire, and The Jacksons, just to mention a few. The Coliseum has effectively served as a resource for basketball games, ice show extravaganzas, multi-ring circuses, and numerous other entertainment settings. Regardless of the size of the event, the Centreplex has on-site staff members to help plan the event.
