This summer the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau (ACVB) has booked 131 tradeshows and events, generating 275,000 future room nights, it announced last week.
Among the Atlanta events, which are expected to attract nearly 328,000 attendees to the city, are meetings for the American Wind Energy Association, Asymmetrix Entertainment, Inc., the Emergency Medical Services Expo, the National Safety Council, and the American Information Management Association.
Despite the economy, Atlanta's 2010 calendar year booking pace is 130 percent above target. Next year, according to ACVB, the city will host more than 50 tradeshows, including 19 citywide conventions. Future year bookings, meanwhile, also are strong, as the city currently is targeting 341 tentative events for 2011 through 2013.
