Summit Summary: Day 1, Afternoon

A cool, fall day welcomed our attendees to the beautiful Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. Old friends were reunited and new friends were made during pre-conference networking events like the Inclusion Groups Meet-Up, the New Member and First-Time Attendee Briefing and the Atlanta Chapter LinkUp. The Tech Bar and Charging Station, brought to you by Visa, was the main hub for the Day 1 Learning Lab Sessions, providing space to review, recharge and reconnect. And a philanthropy project with Girls Inc. offered a chance to share empowering words with young girls via video.

These engaging pre-conference activities prepped early arrivers for the main event: the 15th Anniversary Opening Night Celebration, brought to you by Global Payments. See next issue for Opening Night and Online Silent Auction highlights.
