Mayor Andre Dickens, joined by City and State leaders, will mark the two-day Atlanta Workforce Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center on March 5th and 6th. The Expo is designed to bring employers and job seekers together to support workforce needs during peak periods during large-scale events and build long-term economic opportunity across Atlanta.
This is part of the larger mission of Showcase Atlanta, to ensure these historic moments happen with Atlanta’s small businesses, not to them.
Through workforce development initiatives, small business readiness programs, neighborhood activations and accessible information, Showcase Atlanta is translating international attention into local economic impact. Additional workforce programming and readiness events are scheduled throughout 2026. More information is available at showcaseatlanta.com
