ATLANTA, GA – On August 15, 2025, the Council for Quality Growth hosted more than 500 attendees at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Theater in City Springs for its 5th annual The INTERSECTION Quality Development Conference. This event is product of the Quality Growth Institute, the education arm of the Council. The INTERSECTION convened public policy and private business leaders from across the region to discuss critical issues facing metro Atlanta. The 2025 theme was “Infrastructure and Investment,” which continued conversations around infrastructure presented last year, but with a new focus on the challenging landscape for funding it at the local, state, and national levels. Doug Hooker, former Executive Director of the Atlanta Regional Commission, served master of ceremonies.
Attendees were Council for Quality Growth members and businesses representing various sectors of development, including real estate, infrastructure, economic development, government, and community organizations. Over 100 elected officials from the region’s 86 local governments were in the crowd at City Springs. The Council works at the intersection of public policy and private investment, and The INTERSECTION Conference brings these two sides together to discuss common challenges and uncover new solutions. In the effort to advance the mission of the Council for Quality Growth and the Quality Growth Institute, this event provides an educational platform for private business and local governments to learn from one another, share ideas, and foster strategic partnerships that move our region forward.
Thank you to our attendees and sponsors for a successful INTERSECTION Quality Development Conference!
