Smaller events, including an “Out in the Workplace” networking mixer, sponsored by the Metro Atlanta Association of Professionals, will go down during the week.
Then, things will ramp into high gear on Friday, with the official Kickoff Party at the Georgia Aquarium. Tickets to the event are available online.
On Saturday, options will abound in Piedmont Park throughout the day. Events include an art exhibition, car show, comedy showcase, and even a display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
