The highly anticipated Invest Fest is making its fourth annual appearance in Atlanta this August, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This exciting event has become a significant milestone for the city's financial landscape, drawing in thousands of eager attendees each year.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the conference, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy in achieving economic success. "You can't reach your full potential without a strong foundation in financial knowledge," Mayor Dickens stated during a press conference announcing the event's dates.
Organized by the reputable financial education platform, Earn Your Leisure, Invest Fest aims to empower attendees with essential financial knowledge and insights. Despite facing criticism from skeptics regarding the quality of financial advice, EYL co-founder Rashad Bilal reassured the public that the company takes great care in vetting all potential speakers.
Last year's Invest Fest drew in approximately 50,000 attendees to the Georgia World Congress Center over three days. This year's conference, scheduled for August 23-25 at the same venue, is expecting an even larger turnout. Bilal predicts around 60,000 participants, making the event an incredible opportunity for networking and learning.
Bilal also shared his belief that being in the presence of thousands of like-minded individuals is highly beneficial in terms of inspiration and motivation. "Surrounding yourself with a community of driven individuals is the key to success," Bilal remarked.
Despite being based in New York, Bilal and two of Invest Fest's co-founders made the decision to hold the conference in Atlanta due to its reputation as a hub for Black businesses, as reported by the Journal-Constitution. Previous editions of Invest Fest have featured esteemed speakers such as billionaire investor Robert Smith and entertainment mogul Tyler Perry. This year, the focus will shift towards providing practical insights for everyday attendees. Bilal also teased some exciting giveaways and grants for local businesses.
Tickets for the conference will go on sale on March 23 and are priced at $250. This may seem like a significant investment, but Bilal emphasizes the value of the educational experience and the networking opportunities available to attendees. Plus, with the promise of practical insights and exciting giveaways, it's an opportunity not to be missed. So mark your calendars for August 23-25 and join us at Invest Fest for a weekend of financial empowerment and growth.
