Locals and visitors have a new landmark to behold on I-75 South just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta with the opening of the WM Events headquarters in Hapeville, GA. Visible from I-75 and making a bold statement along the route to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the branded 13,000-sq.-ft. commercial building includes offices, warehousing, meeting/conference space, a floral department, future event space, and more. The headquarters’ exterior reflects WM Events’ new brand identity, introduced earlier this year when the company reached its milestone 20th anniversary. Forest and vibrant green hues combine to form the logo, while playful, colorful confetti pieces add zest.
