Built through structured public-private partnerships, this is where leaders come to move from ideas to execution.

JULY 25 — THE CULMINATION
The summit ends. History begins.
Every summit ticket includes July 25 — the inaugural Global Diaspora Day Festival in Atlanta. The first time this day has ever been marked on the global calendar. Four cities on two continents made it official. Atlanta will host the world and continue to serve as the Gateway to Africa in the US.
In December 2025, Atlanta, Ghana, Nigeria, and Seattle signed a joint proclamation declaring July 25 as Global Diaspora Day — permanently, on the global calendar. July 25th, each capitol city will celebrate together.
