Seventh Annual event to be held at the Marriott Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center
ATLANTA (May 16, 2011) — On Monday, May 23rd, the Seventh Annual “A Taste of Buckhead Business EXPO” will continue in its classic tradition while adding some new and exciting changes.
The event will take place in a new location, at the Marriott Buckhead Hotel and Conference Center, from 6:00 – 8:30 PM. Each year, exhibits from 20 of Buckhead’s premiere restaurants and 40 local businesses showcase Buckhead in an exclusive fashion.
“We are excited about this year’s additions, such as an official emcee for the evening and a pre-Expo social event featuring musical entertainment,” says Lolita Browning-Jackson, President of the Buckhead Business Association. In addition, the BBA plans to reveal the winner of their 60th Anniversary rebranding contest and unveil the group’s official new logo.
Last year, more than 800 Atlantans attended A Taste of Buckhead Business Expo to experience delicious “tastes” from fabulous local restaurants and to learn more about the wide variety of companies that do business in Buckhead. Each year, the list of sponsors and exhibitors grows, and this year restaurant sponsors such as The Capital Grille, East Andrews, and Shula’s 347, and businesses such as Private Bank of Buckhead, Entertainment Design Group, and Swank Audio/Visual lead the list. Media outlets continue to support this exciting event as well, in particular event sponsors Atlanta InTown Paper, Buckhead View, and Simply Buckhead Magazine.
