ATL Airport District CVB/Cobb Travel & Tourism
I'm Kristin Schneider, Vice President of Sales & Destination Services at the ATL Airport District Convention & Visitors Bureau, where I've been part of the team since 2015. With over 10 years of experience in hospitality sales, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my background as a former NCAA athlete and collegiate basketball coach at both Vanderbilt and Xavier University. That coaching experience taught me the value of teamwork, strategic planning, and delivering under pressure—skills I now apply to helping sports event organizers create unforgettable experiences. Why the ATL Airport District is Perfect for Your Sporting Events The ATL Airport District is truly one-of-a-kind for sports events, and here's why: Unbeatable Connectivity & Convenience Direct access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport—the world's most traveled airport with 150+ U.S. destinations and 60+ international cities The only convention center in the U.S. connected directly to an airport via the free 24/7 ATL SkyTrain Just 10 miles from downtown Atlanta's major attractions and championship sports teams World-Class Facilities Georgia International Convention Center: Georgia's second-largest convention center with 400,000 total square feet and 150,000 square feet of exhibit space Gateway Center Arena: A pro-level, 5,000-seat multi-purpose venue perfect for tournaments and championships More than 7,000 hotel rooms, many with complimentary shuttles Exceptional Value Hotel costs average 30% less than downtown Atlanta All the big-city amenities with a relaxed, authentic atmosphere Easy, efficient logistics that save time and money Recent Sports Success We've proudly hosted events like the SWAC Men's & Women's Basketball Tournament, Chris Paul HBCU Basketball Tournament, and we're home to the WNBA's Atlanta Dream, the NBA Developmental Team College Park Skyhawks, as well as the professional volleyball team LOVB.
