While reflecting on Atlanta’s Black business infrastructure and ecosystem, Jabari Young, a senior writer and editorial lead for ForbesBLK, says Atlanta is the place to be.

“You can’t even find a place better than Atlanta at this present stage,” said Young. “I’m not even going to lie. I love D.C., and I’m from Philly—but Atlanta is where it is.”

In an effort to bring Black business leaders, entrepreneurs and entertainers together to discuss several business-related topics, Forbes is hosting its inaugural ForbesBLK Summit in Atlanta on Nov. 5 and 6 at the Southern Exchange Ballrooms.

The summit’s theme is “The Future of Black Entrepreneurialism: Convening Culture, Creativity and Community.”
