Former Cobb Galleria reopens as Cobb Convention Center

Submitted information:

 The Cobb Convention Center Atlanta, formerly Cobb Galleria Centre, has reopened with a new logo after a four-month closure. 

Atlanta’s premier mid-size venue for conventions, trade shows, meetings and special events, Cobb Convention Center has rebranded in the midst of a transformational, $190 million renovation and expansion project.  

The renovation and expansion is happening in phases. Cobb Convention Center closed in September 2025 for an extensive renovation in the exhibit halls, ballroom and common areas. The convention center reopened this month and will remain open throughout 2026 to host trade shows, expos, meetings, conventions and social events in the exhibit halls and ballroom. The expansion project will continue through early 2027. 

The new logo is a dynamic, radial “C” that conveys energy, movement, and connection—reflecting the Cobb Convention Center’s role as a vibrant hub for events in Cobb County and metro Atlanta. Its layered geometry suggests multiple “C”s within, creating a sense of rhythm and architectural precision. 

The completed renovation of the Cobb Convention Center includes the following: 

• Exhibit Halls – New tunable LED lights with three color temperatures and color-changing capabilities; a new Grab N’ Go market in Hall A and renovated fixed food outlets in the additional three halls; renovated restrooms 
• Ballroom and prefunction– new carpet, wall coverings, chandeliers, wood finishes, restrooms, lighting systems and speakers 
• Rotunda – new terrazzo flooring, glass railings, wood finishes (complete) and signature sculptural chandelier (April 2026) 
• New fixed and digital signage throughout 
• Renovated, state-of-the-art kitchen with all-new equipment, pastry kitchen and expanded pantry 

The final stages of the demolition of the Galleria Specialty Shops are happening now, which will make way for an expansion to include:  

• An exciting new, two-story grand entryway  
• A new, 7,200-square-foot junior ballroom   
• 11 new meeting rooms and an executive boardroom, totaling 24,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting room space with enhanced graphics and technology   
• A unique, 11,000-square-foot outdoor event courtyard and a separate garden, both allowing natural lighting to penetrate interior conference room spaces  
• New, connected parking with covered, all-weather access into the expanded facility   
• Overall addition of 13,000 square feet of indoor event space
