30th Anniversary of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games


January 26
, 2026 Update
 



I plan to stage an ACOG 30th Reunion for the Paid Staff in 2026


On July 19, 1996 was the Opening Ceremonies Day for the Centennial Olympic Games.
Games that ran from July 20th until August 4th.  Dates that put a big mark in many
people's lives that are related to this ACOG reunion website.

Many of us had jobs that we will remember our ACOG days forever. In both
Good and Great ways, as well as some Rough and Bad ways of course as well.
Life is always a combinations of Yin and Yang and for sure.

 



Save The Date: July 25th or 26th, 2026
-- details to follow --
 

Gather at the old CNN Food Court 
Now call The Center Atlanta Food Court
(no cost)

* Indoor Venue (Free)
* Parking in the Area - LINK
* Air Conditioned
* Retail Food & Drink Locations
* Public Restrooms
* Next to Centennial Olympic Park

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Mi8Zkw4qarct6Qv56

The basic thinking is gather in the morning and afternoon
at the CNN Food Court. Visit with old friends that you
have contacted prior to meeting up.

Then people can splinter off into their own groups for
dinner at a separate location.  Or stay around the food court
and have dinner at any of the near by restaurants.

These are the people that I am reaching out to now
as of January 26, 2026 - my 2026 ACOG Contact List.
About 230 people as of today : LINK

Help me spread the word by forwarding this website
https://acog1996.com/ to others in your address book.


 


 

World Cup Soccer's Semi-Final Match in Atlanta

ACOG 1996: General Message Board


The Sports Competition Department has just started their planning of a group gathering in Atlanta.
I will pass on your contact details if you have registered on my site.

I will post the details of their planning here when provided to me.
Open this LINK to see the current details.

If you are on Facebook, there is also a Facebook Group for the Sports Department : LINK





 


In both 2006 and again in 2016 I collected Staff Names and Email address for these people who I was able to reach out to back then.  I will try to verify list of email addresses to see if they are still good.  So I can spread awareness that I will be staging an event for the 30th Anniversary of the ACOG Games.

2026 ACOG Staff Contact List
- PDF File -

This 2026 Contact list is only about 230 names and email addresses as on January 26, 2026.

I will have to look back into my really old 2006 Microsoft Excel files.  To see if I can dig up the original version 1 ACOG Staff Contact List that I created.  From the ACOG Phone Directory that I save when I cleaned out my office space at 260 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303.

I am also going through all of my LinkedIn.com connections.

I remember starting in March of 1995 with Venue Management on the 12th Floor (?).  Wearing a jacket and tie everyday for a number of months.  I had signed on to work at Games in Venue Management, even though I didn't know what my management role was going to be until I landed in the offices of ACOG.  That of the Venues Signage Manager. 

I had the smallest desk space of anyone on the floor.  But I also eventually got my own Work Shop Space.  A 15 x 15 ft little area between Venue Management and Logistics who were on the same floor.  To create actual signage in my testing phases pre-games in 1995.

For a bit of nostalgia, here are some links to past 2006 reunion photos.
I don't recall how many people showed up at the Inforum Lobby for the 2006 Reunion.  But I know I had a fun time seeing all the people that I had met during my time at ACOG.
