THE ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER
The Atlanta History Center is a 33-acre estate, surrounded by gardens, historic houses, and a museum dedicated to showcasing the history of Atlanta. Attendees will have a chance to view the 1886 cyclorama painting, “The Battle of Atlanta,” for the first time in 100 years in the way it was intended to be seen: as an immersive learning experience illuminating how perceptions of memory can be shaped or distorted by our past. Following the cyclorama, attendees will visit the Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See exhibition, which highlights Mamie Till-Mobley’s pursuit of justice following the death of her only son and the eventual passage, in March 2022, of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act.

SHIFTING THE NARRATIVE: PUSHING ESG FOR PROFITABILITY
ESG - While the acronym has received backlash, its principles are here to stay. Understanding the profit value of ESG isn’t always clear to the marketplace. Many organizations believe it requires a hefty initial investment to reap any rewards. Many consumers don’t believe they have enough information to make informed choices on the impact of a company’s ESG programs. How can leaders better educate and inform various stakeholder groups about ESG’s impact on a company’s long-term health?
