A Continued Partnership: Invest Fest Thrives at Georgia World Congress Center

Over the weekend of August 22–24, 2025, Georgia World Congress Center welcomed Invest Fest 2025: a one-of-a-kind conference that brings together business, entertainment, and culture in the heart of downtown Atlanta. This year marked the event’s fifth appearance at GWCC since its debut here in 2021.

Founded by Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings of Earn Your Leisure, Invest Fest has evolved into a major annual celebration of entrepreneurship and financial empowerment, drawing more than 23,000 attendees to this year’s conference.

Across four massive exhibit halls, guests filled the building with energy — attending panel discussions, networking with fellow entrepreneurs, and exploring the Vendor Marketplace, which showcased more than 300 small businesses.

Georgia World Congress Center is proud to host Invest Fest as it continues to expand, reinforcing Atlanta’s reputation as a national hub for innovation and cultural connection.
