Hi everyone, Jasmine Crockett here! With the new year comes one of my most anticipated events – the Atlanta Market. Whether you’re an industry veteran or a first-time attendee, there’s a lot to look forward to. I’m so excited to be attending Atlanta Market this year! I’m even more excited that I’ll be on a female entrepreneur panel on July 18th and can’t wait to share my experience from both with you all. Here’s a glimpse into why this event is a must-attend, the brands you should keep an eye on, and how to make the most of your time in Atlanta. I recommend downloading the @Market App and visiting the website beforehand. These tools help you navigate the expansive market, making it easier to prioritize which buildings and vendors to visit based on your business focus.
Before You Go:
- Create a Game Plan: Identify the key items you’re searching for and map out the must-see vendors. This will help you stay focused and make the most of your time.
- Pack Wisely: Comfortable shoes are a must! You’ll be doing a lot of walking, so dress in layers to adjust to the varying indoor temperatures.
- Networking Essentials: Bring plenty of business cards and be prepared to network. Atlanta Market is a prime opportunity to make new connections and strengthen existing relationships.
Atlanta isn’t just about the market; the city itself has plenty to offer. Here are a few recommendations to enhance your trip:
- Dining: Savor delicious meals at some of my favorite spots like Bar Margot, STK, and local favorites like The Varsity. Each restaurant offers a unique dining experience with exceptional cuisine.
- Shopping: Take a break from the market to explore shopping destinations like Ponce City Market, Westside Provisions, or Buckhead Village District. These areas offer a curated selection of fashion, home décor, and unique gifts.
For behind-the-scenes looks and updates throughout the seminar panel on July 18th and entire week of Atlanta Market, be sure to follow me on Instagram @jasminescrockett. I’ll be sharing my favorite finds, market highlights, and tips for navigating this incredible event.
Register today to attend Atlanta Market, July 16-22. I hope to see you there!
