ATLANTA (July 29, 2015) — What are the unique issues and

for industry workers to connect and share stories, and promises candid
discussion from some of the city’s most accomplished women.
“Atlanta is home to some of the best restaurants in the
country, and women are such a huge part of that,” says ATL industree city manager
