The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta is one of the largest convention centres in the United States, covering over 1.5 million square feet of exhibition and meeting space in the heart of downtown Atlanta. It is a major destination for trade events, professional conferences, and medical congresses across a wide range of industries. Contact Media delivers onsite, on-demand event badging at the GWCC and across Atlanta. 

Georgia World Congress Center and Atlanta Venues
Our badging service is well matched to Atlanta's major event facilities, including: 

  • Georgia World Congress Center (Downtown Atlanta) — a vast campus adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, hosting major trade shows and professional congresses 
  • Cobb Galleria Centre — a well-known mid-size convention centre in northwest Atlanta, popular for regional trade events and professional conferences 
  • Atlanta Marriott Marquis and other large hotel convention venues — used for corporate conferences and association meetings 
  • Infinite Energy Center (Duluth/Gwinnett) — a versatile venue north of Atlanta used for trade shows and conventions 

We manage all international logistics for Atlanta events, including equipment deployment and full delegate management. 

Fast, Scalable, Professional
The GWCC's multi-hall campus can host events across multiple simultaneous spaces. Our scalable multi-station badging setup handles this well — separate printing points at each hall entry, a unified delegate database, and real-time attendance data across all stations. Badges print in under five seconds, with QR scanning for instant record lookup. 

Integration with US Platforms
We integrate with Cvent, Swoogo, Bizzabo, Eventbrite, and other platforms commonly used by US-based event organisers. Your delegate data is in our system before the first attendee arrives.

Service 1 of 3 · The stack

Badges printed on arrival — instantly.

Onsite badge printing means every badge is produced at the point of check-in, not before — nothing pre-printed, nothing shipped, nothing to sort through at the door. Each badge prints on demand the moment an attendee arrives, with their name exactly as they registered it, a barcode ready for the rest of the event, and any branding or colour-coding already built in. If anything's wrong — a misspelled name, a changed detail — it's edited and reprinted on the spot

How it works

Arrive. Print. Walk in.

We connect to your registration list live, ours or yours, so the badge that prints is always the current record — including people who just registered.

1

Attendee arrives

They scan their QR code, tap in their own surname, or are found by a member of staff — whichever suits your event.

2

Badge prints on demand

The badge — the attendee credential — prints there and then from the live record. Quick, easy, fast, professional. Typos get fixed at the desk, not sent back to a print shop.

3

They walk in

Smooth and simple for attendees, right from the door. A badge, printed there and then, easy to see who's who at a glance, built-in security, and a barcode ready to scan for access control or lead retrieval whenever you need it.

Why print onsite

Pre-printing badges is work you don't need to do.

Every pre-printed badge is a guess: that the person will come, that their details won't change, that the box arrives at the right venue. Printing onsite removes the guessing and hard work sifting through badges.

It also means every arrival is logged in real time. Our backend software tracks exactly who's in the building and when they arrived, giving you an hour-by-hour view of the day as it unfolds — and a clear record afterwards to help plan future events.

    • Sustainable by design. Badges only exist for people who actually walk through the door.

    • Late registrations just work. Someone who signs up on the morning of the event gets the same badge as everyone else. No separate process.

    • Nothing to ship or lose. Hardware and consumables travel with us, nothing to worry about.

    • Badges feed the rest of the stack. Every badge is scannable, so exhibitors can capture leads with lead retrieval from the same system.

Prefer to run it yourself?

Hire the printers, keep the control.

If you'd rather your own team ran badge printing on the day, hire the hardware from us and self-manage. We'll supply the badge software alongside it if you want it, or you can run your own.
