2023 Media Coverage

The Global Opportunities Committee (GOC) of the Atlanta Black Chambers (ABC) was created to provide information and access to trade, partnerships, and investment opportunities around the world for our members.

We are on a mission to connect and empower every business in our organization to result-oriented opportunities that will generate real economic value among businesses. We execute this through strategically designed programming such as opportunities webinars, in-person workshops, inbound/outbound delegations, and conferences.
