About Techtextil North America
Techtextil North America, Messe Frankfurt's show for technical textiles and nonwovens, returns to Atlanta from 11 to 13 May 2027 at the Georgia World Congress Center, after its 2026 edition in Raleigh. It covers the whole value chain, from fibres, yarns and fabrics to machinery, finishing, testing and recycling, and runs alongside Texprocess Americas, so one trip also takes in sewn products and textile processing.
At the last Atlanta edition in 2025 the two shows brought together nearly 400 exhibitors from 28 countries. The GWCC sits on the west side of Downtown next to Centennial Olympic Park, with its own MARTA station, so most visitors choose between a Downtown hotel within walking distance and a Midtown hotel a few stops away.

Seafood and steaks

A long established Downtown dining room built around steaks, fresh seafood and a substantial wine list, with leather booths and a polished, business friendly feel. It is the dependable choice when you need to host a client close to the convention district.

Contemporary Southern
Midtown (Crescent Avenue), about 10 to 15 minutes by taxi from the Georgia World Congress Center
Set in a converted bungalow on Midtown's Crescent Avenue, this is a well loved address for refined Southern cooking in a lively setting. Fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits and buttermilk fried chicken are the dishes regulars come back for.
Tip: The dining room can get loud at peak times, so ask for the patio or an early table if you want to talk business.

Traditional Southern
Midtown (Ponce de Leon Avenue), about 10 minutes by taxi from the Georgia World Congress Center
Serving made from scratch Southern food since 1945, Mary Mac's is an Atlanta institution and the place to try fried chicken, collard greens and a long list of vegetable sides. Several dining rooms mean it copes well with groups of colleagues.
Tip: It now takes reservations for part of its seating, which is worth using during a busy show week.

How do you get to Techtextil North America?
From Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
- MARTA's Airport station is at the domestic terminal, at the south end of the Red and Gold lines
- Ride the Red or Gold line to Five Points, where MARTA says all four rail lines meet, then change to the Blue or Green line for SEC District station, the closest stop to the GWCC
- By car or taxi, the venue's directions use I-75/85 North and Exit 248C for Andrew Young International Boulevard
- If you fly in on an international flight, remember that MARTA's rail service ends at the domestic terminal, not the international one
Arriving by car
- From the north on I-75/85, the venue says to take Exit 249C for Williams Street; from the south, Exit 248C
- The GWCC recommends the Red Deck for most visitors and advises pre-purchasing parking for most events
- Downtown traffic can get heavy when there are events at Mercedes-Benz Stadium or State Farm Arena, so allow extra time

Getting to the Georgia World Congress Center each day
