Through our #IntentionalGatherings at Georgia World Congress Center Authority, we strive to find innovative ways to reduce waste and improve our community. That's why we team up with LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER to ensure materials from our events and shows are recycled and repurposed ♻️ LBC is a nonprofit organization that captures materials from the waste stream and gives them a second life by directing them back into the community. This not only reduces waste but also supports local projects and promotes a more sustainable future right here in Atlanta. #Sustainability #Reuse #Recycling #CommunityImpact #LifecycleBuildingCenter

Con el partido inaugural de la CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 como marco, el Consulado General de Argentina en Atlanta junto con la Dirección de Promoción de Exportaciones de Servicios Basados en el Conocimiento, Industrias Creativas, Turismo y Deportes de la Subsecretaría de Promoción del Comercio e Inversiones y la Embajada argentina desarrollamos una serie de acciones para promover el talento argentino en tecnología asociada al negocio deportivo. Por la mañana nos reunimos en un segmento B2B en la Metro Atlanta Chamber y nuestra delegación, encabezada por el Embajador de Argentina en los Estados Unidos, Gerardo Werthein, dialogó con una nutrida representación de los sectores de deportes y tecnología, de Canadá y los Estados Unidos. Luego, inauguramos el "Centro Argentino de Innovación" (Argentine Innovation Hub) en el Georgia World Congress Center Authority, frente al Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Durante toda la tarde un amplio público disfrutó de una serie de actividades vinculadas a la tecnología e innovación argentina, la presentación del libro "Sean Eternos" de Eduardo Biscayart y Alejandro Pagni, degustaciones de vino de la mano de Wines of Argentina, y más. Una de las principales atracciones fue la demostración de la empresa argentina Guardians of the Ball de fútbol en el metaverso, qué ofreció una inmersión en la rica historia del fútbol argentino. Los asistentes exploraron el museo virtual de Mario Kempes (estrella del Mundial 1978), se teletransportaron al icónico lugar de nacimiento de Diego Maradona y participaron en una trivia sobre Lionel Messi, el reciente campeón del Mundial 2022. La gran sorpresa fue contar con el Matador Mario Kempes en persona, quien recibió y brindó el enorme cariño de todos los visitantes. Algunas de las empresas que nos acompañaron fueron Guardians of the Ball, etermax, Diario Olé, Wines of Argentina, IGS B, Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors, Scoutech, SPORTBIZ, Aleph Group, Inc, Globant y la Cámara de la Industria Argentina del Software - CESSI.

Georgia World Congress Center Authority is proud to make a positive impact on our city and state. In April, GWCCA partnered with Coverings in creating an impactful donation program by coordinating the donations of unused materials, tile, marble, furniture, and more to local organizations and non-profits following Coverings 2024 at GWCC. These items are now being used to fundraise, educate students learning trades, and recycle supplies, keeping them out of landfills. Join us in celebrating this incredible initiative that supports our community and promotes sustainability! Have an upcoming event at Georgia World Congress Center? Our team can help you make an impact as well! Atlanta Habitat for Humanity LIFECYCLE BUILDING CENTER GEORGIA BUILDING TRADES ACADEMY INC
