Last week, The Collaborative Firm joined approximately 1500 metro Atlanta Leaders for the Atlanta Regional Commission’s 2025 State of the Region event held on Friday, October 24th, to take stock of metro Atlanta, exploring key regional challenges through the theme, “Innovation Unleashed.”

The event also featured a “keynote conversation” with Anna Roach, ARC Executive Director & CEO, Delta CEO Ed Bastian, and ARC Chairman and Mayor of The City of Atlanta Andre Dickens. The discussion touched on collaboration, innovation, and workforce development.

The future is here and Atlanta is embracing it!
