Planning a retreat for your organization is about more than just selecting a venue and scheduling activities. It’s about creating an experience that fosters connection, collaboration, and rejuvenation—an experience that leaves attendees feeling inspired and aligned with your organization’s goals. That’s where The Wynning Experience excels.

On October 1, 2024, The Wynning Experience had the honor of planning the prestigious ACE Awards for the third consecutive year. This highly anticipated event continues to be a cornerstone in the world of Supplier Diversity, where we gather to celebrate the remarkable achievements of those shaping this vital industry.

This October, the Metro Atlanta Cyber Security Summit, powered by Fulton County and the Atlanta Regional Commission, gathered top city and county leaders for a critical discussion on safeguarding our digital infrastructure. Hosted at the Loudermilk Center on October 10-11, 2024, this two-day event focused on the rising wave of cyber-attacks targeting local governments and provided actionable insights to better protect our communities.

The event planning and hospitality industry thrives on creativity, precision, and innovation. Yet, the contributions of Black pioneers—both historical and modern—are often overlooked despite their significant impact on shaping how events are executed and experienced. From legendary event planners who set the foundation for the industry to venue owners and production experts pushing boundaries today, these trailblazers have left a lasting mark on the world of event excellence.
