Fresh off the celebration of our historic 50th anniversary, we’re heading to Atlanta, a city that perfectly reflects NABJ’s legacy, mission, and future. As a global hub for civil and human rights, culture, and innovation, Atlanta is the ideal backdrop for the next chapter of NABJ.
From being the birthplace and home of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the King Center, to hosting more than 50 colleges and universities (including six HBCUs), to serving as the world’s busiest and most efficient airport — Atlanta is where history, storytelling, and Black excellence converge. Often called “the Hollywood of the South,” the city continues to shape film, television, music, and global culture, making it the perfect home for #NABJ26.
Plan to experience hundreds of training sessions, workshops, networking opportunities, and cultural moments that will inform, inspire, and elevate careers across journalism and media.
