The Georgia Downtown Association (GDA) is excited to announce that it will be hosting the 2024 Georgia Downtown Conference in Thomasville August 26-29.  This annual conference attracts over 200 downtown professionals from across the state to network, learn, and grow through a variety of session topics and tours.  This conference is designed to further educate individuals on issues affecting downtown development on a national and statewide level, reinforce existing downtown development efforts, and help plan for future initiatives. It is a conduit to promote downtown and economic development through public awareness, governmental relations, and education. A highlight of the conference is the Georgia Downtown Awards Ceremony where the accomplishments of organizations and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement and improvement in Georgia’s traditional downtowns are celebrated.
