Months ago, the organizers of Invest Fest made a big announcement that had financial enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. They revealed that this year's Invest Fest would be returning to Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center from August 23 to 25. This conference has been gaining popularity and it was no surprise that people were eagerly anticipating its return.
In a social media post on June 26, the organizers confirmed that rapper 50 Cent would be headlining the event. The fourth annual Invest Fest is co-sponsored by Steve Harvey, Matthew Garland, and Michael MacDonald, making it a star-studded affair. It was also reported by TMZ that 50 Cent will be taking over the role previously held by his rival, Sean "Diddy" Combs, at last year's conference.
Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal, the founders of Earn Your Leisure, the podcast behind the conference, gave statements to TMZ expressing their excitement. Millings stated that 50 Cent represents the perfect combination of culture and business, making him an ideal speaker for the event. Bilal added that they believe 50's insights and experiences will inspire and empower the audience to take control of their financial freedom.
The conference, which has been held in Atlanta every year, is modeled after the podcast Earn Your Leisure, which aims to educate and empower the Black community in regards to financial decisions. Last year's conference was a huge success, drawing in around 50,000 attendees over the course of three days. With the growing popularity of the event, organizers are expecting an even higher turnout of 60,000 participants this year.
In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in March, Bilal shared his thoughts on the benefits of attending a conference with thousands of like-minded individuals. He compared it to going to church or embarking on a pilgrimage, saying that being surrounded by a large group of people can be more productive and inspiring than being alone in your room.
Despite the $250 price tag for the three-day conference, Bilal believes it will be a worthwhile investment for those who attend. He emphasizes the value of being in a positive and motivating environment, which can have a significant impact on one's financial journey. With such an impressive lineup of speakers and a focus on empowering the Black community, it's no wonder that people are already eagerly anticipating this year's Invest Fest.
