Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games

The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) was a nonprofit organization responsible for planning, organizing, and managing the 1996 Summer Olympics hosted in Atlanta. It coordinated efforts among government agencies, sponsors, and local communities to ensure smooth event execution. ACOG handled logistics, venue preparations, security, and public engagement, aiming to showcase Atlanta globally while promoting economic growth and community involvement. After the Games, its role transitioned to public agencies to maintain Olympic-related facilities and promote ongoing benefits for the city.
