With more than 2,000 international companies employing nearly 115,000 employees in the metro region, Atlanta’s dependence on the global economy is obviously significant.
And vice versa. If it were a country, metro Atlanta would be the 28th largest economy in the world.
Please join other public, business and civic leaders as ARC explores a new and powerful economic force – the megaregion – at ARC’s next Fifty Forward forum, presented in combination with the 2008 “State of the Region” breakfast on Nov. 20, from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the Hyatt Regency.
Hear from keynote speaker Vincent Goodstadt, head of European Relations for METREX, about our enhanced ability to compete globally as a cohesive megaregion.
And learn more about the emerging Piedmont Atlantic megaregion, metro Atlanta’s role in its formation and its potential for global economic competitiveness.
"Fifty Forward” is a two-year visioning initiative based on open-house style forums centered around critical topics that are now and will continue to impact metro Atlanta for decades. The forums will feature nationally recognized keynote speakers and will explore possible actions and ideas to ensure livability, prosperity and sustainability.
