There’s dynamic energy at VisitColumbusGA! Longtime team member Ashley Woitena, CDME, has stepped into the role of President and CEO, bringing 17+ years of passion and experience to the helm. Joining her is Tonja Ray-Smith, TMP, FEP—a seasoned pro in the world of hospitality and tourism —who’s leading efforts to attract meetings, conventions, and group tours to this vibrant Southern city.
And what a city it is. Whether your group is into outdoor thrills—like rafting the world’s longest urban whitewater course that runs right through the heart of downtown—or zip lining over the Chattahoochee River, Columbus brings the adventure. Prefer something indoors? Explore world-class museums, historic sites, or savor chef-driven dining across the city’s amazing restaurant scene.
Our 180,000+ square foot Convention & Trade Center, located in a beautifully restored historic building, anchors a walkable district full of hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Add in Southern hospitality and easy access, and you’ve got a meeting destination that’s as memorable as it is convenient.
