Where Talent Meets Opportunity: Georgia's Education and Workforce Summit

· September 24-25, 2026 · Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta

About the Summit

Eight years. Countless partnerships. One clear mission. The Governor's Education and Workforce Summit bring education, industry, and government leaders together to mark a milestone celebrating Governor Kemp's legacy of expanding opportunity for every Georgian and the solid foundation now in place for the workforce of the future.


Day One

Governor Kemp takes center stage on Day One alongside top industry leaders for a forward-looking conversation on technology, AI, and what it means for Georgia's workforce. Then he makes it official elevating the importance of student advisement and the innovative navigation tool that brings students, adult learners, and employers together around the careers that matter most to Georgia's future.

Who Should Attend

Education leaders, industry partners, government officials, workforce professionals, and anyone committed to Georgia's future.


Day Two

Day Two puts the spotlight on the practitioners closest to students. Secondary and post-secondary counselors, advisors, teachers, and administrators who turn possibility into reality every day. Sessions will go deeper into the new navigation tool, explore the current state of career guidance, and renew our shared commitment to making sure every Georgian can find a path to a well-paying career right here at home. Day Two also marks the official launch of the Georgia Career Navigation Collaborative, a statewide community of practice connecting practitioners around what works in career advisement. It is a conversation about Georgia's collective responsibility and the work still ahead.

Who Should Attend

High school counselors, postsecondary advisors, career coaches, and industry leaders who want to connect with the people guiding Georgia's next generation.

Do not miss your chance to be in the room. Register today and join us for Governor Kemp's final Education and Workforce Summit. A celebration of how far we have come and a call to keep Georgia the place where talent meets opportunity.
