Metro ATL Chamber

The game is on in Atlanta, and we're bringing home the hardware 🏆 Our region has officially been named the #1 City for Sports Business in America by @SBJ! This honor is a testament to the business community, civic leadership, and collaborative spirit that make Sports More Than Sports in our region.

The City in the Forest just got a little bit greener! 🌳 Wednesday marked the opening of @sodowntownatl's Founders Green, a new public gathering space designed to bring people together and add even more energy to one of Atlanta’s fastest-evolving neighborhoods. Surrounded by new restaurants, retail, and local pop-ups, Founders Green is creating a more walkable, connected downtown experience, while helping support small businesses and continued investment in the area. As momentum builds around South Downtown ahead of @FIFAWorldCup, spaces like this are helping reimagine a neighborhood built around community, culture, and local commerce. @GovKemp | @andreforatlanta | @FWC26Atlanta | @CityofAtlanta | @downtownatlanta

#1 for Sports Business AND Esports Business IMO 😉

ATLANTA has been named the NUMBER ONE CITY on SportsBusiness Journal’s 50 Best Sports Business Cities in America for 2026. In Atlanta, sports drives business, fuels innovation, creates global impact and most importantly UNITES US ALL!

A global moment meets higher‑education leadership. 🌍⚽ We spent time with @GeorgiaTech President Ángel Cabrera (@CabreraAngel) discussing his journey at Georgia Tech, his love for metro Atlanta, and why the @FIFAWorldCup carries special meaning—as the first native of Spain to lead an American university. ✅ Leading a world‑class institution ✅ Developing talent that strengthens metro Atlanta ✅ Bringing Spanish heritage and global perspective to Atlanta’s World Cup moment @FWC26Atlanta

Is this thing on? 🎶Microphone check 1, 2 what is this.🎶

Atlanta represent 🍑 Your @Braves are the first team to 30 wins in 2026!

ICYMI: We're leveling up the Epicenter of Soccer in North America ⚽️ Last week, @ussoccer opened the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, the future home of all 27 U.S. National Teams and U.S. Soccer headquarters ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™. This world-class facility is more than a training center. It’s a long-term investment in metro Atlanta and the continued growth of the game across the country. From elite training spaces to community impact, this milestone further cements our region as a global sports capital and a place where major moments happen. 🌎 @USMNT x @USWNT x @USYNT

Investing in Atlanta for the long term 💪 Metro Atlanta Chamber Chief Economist Dr. Jerry Parrish and Dallas Clement, the President and CFO of @CoxEnterprises, sat down to discuss what’s next for Metro Atlanta — from the strength of our workforce to the importance of purpose-driven business and long-term investment in the region. Their conversation explored why Atlanta continues to stand out as a place where innovation, talent, and opportunity come together — and why collaboration between the business community is key to sustaining that momentum for years to come.

Georgia's been the #1 State for Business for 12 years running. That's not just a reputation — it's something that requires dedicated collaborative work, all the time. Part of that work is behind the scenes, making sure Georgia has the legal infrastructure businesses can count on when things go wrong. HB 1185, sponsored by Majority Leader Chuck Efstration and Senate Floor Leader Thomas "Bo" Hatchett and signed today by Governor Brian Kemp, does exactly that. The bill streamlines access to Georgia's Statewide Business Court — a specialized court with judges who actually understand how businesses work — strengthens Georgia's corporate code and adds commonsense protections against bad-faith litigation. The bottom line: disputes resolved faster, at lower cost, with more expertise. That's good for companies already here, and a strong signal to those deciding where to grow next. Thank you to @GovKemp, Majority Leader @ChuckEfstration, Floor Leader Hatchett and the Georgia General Assembly on this win for our business community. 🏛️

Dream on, Atlanta 💙 The @AtlantaDream tip off their season tonight, and our region is ready for another season on the hardwood. New stars, fresh energy, and a new season have Atlanta ready to bring it again.

Welcome home, @ussoccer! 🏠 The official opening of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center marks more than a new facility, it’s a major investment in the future of the sport, right here in metro Atlanta. Located near Trilith, the new National Training Center will serve as the home for all 27 U.S. National Teams and U.S. Soccer headquarters, helping shape the next generation of players, coaches, referees, and fans. Built through an incredible partnership between leaders in business, philanthropy, sport, and government, this world-class campus reinforces metro Atlanta’s position as a global destination for sports, innovation, and community impact, especially as we prepare to welcome the world for the FIFA World Cup 2026™. From accessibility-first design to elite performance facilities, this project represents the power of collaboration and the continued momentum of soccer across our region and country. 🌎

There are few individuals who shaped modern Atlanta more profoundly than Ted Turner. He was a bold visionary whose ideas transformed global media and helped put our region on the world stage. From launching a broadcasting empire in @CNN, to building the iconic Atlanta @Braves, to his far-reaching philanthropy, his legacy is woven into the fabric of Atlanta and beyond. He saw possibility everywhere, and had the conviction to bet big on his ideas and this city. Ted Turner’s legacy will continue to shape what's possible for generations of leaders, in metro Atlanta and beyond.

“When you imagine the American Dream, I realized that it is Atlanta." That’s how leaders from Uzbekistan described their experience visiting our region—and it captures everything about the energy, opportunity, and global connection that define this place. This summer, that connection comes full circle as Uzbekistan takes the pitch right here in Atlanta during the @FIFAWorldCup. A global stage. A shared story. A region that continues to welcome the world and leave a lasting impression. @FWC26Atlanta

Home Sweet Home is here in The A 🏡 A new report from @zillow ranks Atlanta #4 in the nation for first-time homebuyers, thanks to a strong mix of affordability and available inventory. More access and more opportunity provide more reasons to call Atlanta home.

Batter up! ⚾ On this episode of @Delta Insights on Leadership, we ask Atlanta @Braves President and CEO Derek Schiller about his day-to-day process, the advice he gives to new leaders, and the accomplishment he's most proud of.
