A Region of Opportunity

Join top leaders and decision-makers from across metro Atlanta for a morning of insight, inspiration, and collaboration as we explore the opportunities shaping our region's future.

This year’s event will explore the region’s biggest challenges through our theme, “Opportunity Rising.” We’ll focus on what the region must do to make sure that all of us in metro Atlanta has the opportunity to succeed.

This year’s program will include the State of the Region address from ARC Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach, results of the 2026 Metro Atlanta Speaks survey, and two “What’s Next ATL” talks that focus attention on the biggest issues facing our region.

The event will also feature the Regional Excellence Awards, which celebrate innovative and impactful developments, places, and plans, along with the Harry West Visionary Leadership Award which recognizes outstanding community service and leadership.
