Avant South
October 7th, 2024 (Atlanta, GA)
About the Event: The Intentionally Good Summit Volume III, themed "The Power of Positive Innovation," is set to be a pivotal conversation in the landscape of underrepresentation within the innovation economy. As we face concerted efforts to reverse progress in equity and inclusion, coupled with economic challenges and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. This summit aims to galvanize the collective efforts of the Goodie Nation community, bringing together founders, investors, startup coaches, tech professionals, and corporate partners. Our mission is to chart a course toward a positive innovation ecosystem that ensures equitable opportunities for all, especially those who have been historically underrepresented.
