Norcross
A historic meeting city with natural beauty and a buzzy creative community, Norcross was voted "Gwinnett's Best Arts & Culture Scene" by Gwinnett Magazine. It has been the site of major film productions, such as Dynasty and The Outsider, and offers numerous enriching experiences for groups to enjoy. For the ultimate team-bonding experience, try The Amazing Escape Room Norcross to challenge your group to work together. For some adult fun, go for a tour at the Shortbarrel Bourbon Distillery to get a taste for locally-crafted whiskey. Want to take in some history while soaking up the sun? We recommend the Norcross Historic Walking Tours for a self-guided trek through Norcross’s most famous landmarks.
Lawrenceville
In charming Lawrenceville, history, art, sports and outdoor adventure coalesce into a uniquely exciting place to meet and experience made-for-groups off-site activities. For sports fans, grab a tour of Coolray Field (home of the AAA Gwinnett Stripers, the Atlanta Braves minor league affiliate). And if your group’s interested in experiencing some paranormal activity, Lawrenceville Ghost Tours offers several options, including Haunted Cemetery Tours and Brews and Boos private tours. For history buffs, we recommend the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse & Veterans Museum or the Lawrenceville Arts Center, which features the Aurora Theatre, a great option for art history enthusiasts.
Buford
Gwinnett’s third-largest city boasts a blend of modern attractions with a thriving arts scene — and plenty of shopping. For hours of entertainment, let groups roam the popular Mall of Georgia, the Southeast’s largest shopping destination, just minutes away. Get in some local team-building with pickleball and chef-driven bites at Pickle and Social, or let groups get challenged physically and mentally with the Tarzan-swing obstacle courses and ziplines at Treetop Quest in Buford.
Peachtree Corners
A tech meeting hub, Peachtree Corners is known for modern entertainment and innovation. Here, groups will enjoy attractions like the Peachtree Corners Town Center, an open-air lifestyle center featuring a blend of retail, restaurants and office space or the adrenaline-pumping indoor racing center at Torque Motorsports. For outdoor recreation, take your attendees on the walking trails of Holcomb Bridge Park or Jones Bridge Park (with access to the Chattahoochee River for rafting, kayaking and more!).
Suwanee
Bring attendees together in a city that showcases international experiences with a strong community spirit. Named one of “America’s Best Places to Live” by Money Magazine, Suwanee has a lot to offer locals and visitors. With its diverse downtown, engaging cultural attractions and nearly 100 eateries to satisfy every craving, your group will love the global feel of this city. Wander the Hui Tz Tao Temple or Suwanee SculpTour for a lesson in culture and fine art. Invite groups to explore their taste buds at the Assi Plaza International Food Market (Suwanee) or the Bitzel's Chocolate Factory Tour. And for the uber adventurous? Your group will love the rock climbing wall at Adrenaline Climbing!
Duluth
In the hip and centrally located Gas South District, groups will love the plethora of activities fit for entertainment and culinary enthusiasts of all kinds in Duluth — all within minutes of the convention center. Catch an intimate singer-songwriter performance at the Eddie Owen Presents @ Red Clay Music Foundry or a live Broadway-style show at the Gas South Theatre. Hit Parson’s Alley and enjoy a Movie & Margarita, handcrafted brews and even a bit of jazz while soaking in the nightlife. Yearning for a bit of history? All aboard for a group tour at the iconic Southeastern Railway Museum.
Lilburn
In addition to our well-known meeting cities, we’d be remiss not to include the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (Hindu Temple) Tour in Lilburn, an amazing way for groups to take a once-in-a-lifetime tour of the largest Hindu Mandir (temple) in the Southeast.
