Operation Hope Announces Return Of 8th Annual Hope Global Forum Annual Meeting 2021 In Atlanta

ATLANTA, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Operation HOPE, the nation's leader in financial literacy and economic inclusion, today announced that its 8th annual HOPE Global Forum will be returning to Atlanta, Georgia, October 19-21, 2021. This year's event - the annual meeting of the HOPE Global Forum - is themed "Meeting the Moment." The goal of the Forum is to galvanize thought and action around building an economy that works for everyone, particularly underserved communities. The HOPE annual meeting is now the largest gathering in the world dedicated to empowering poor and underserved communities.

The 2021 HOPE Global Forum will feature conversations with leaders from Government, Community, and Private Sectors

Co-chairs John Hope Bryant, Operation HOPE Founder, Chairman, CEO and Ambassador Andrew Young, HOPE Global Spokesman, Civil Rights Icon and Chairman of the Andrew Young Foundation, will host more than 4,800 in-person and virtual delegates representing government, community and private sectors for two days of discussions, ideas and action with the option for in-person or virtual attendance.

With the theme "Meeting the Moment," the Operation HOPE annual meeting will examine the issues of the day through five tracks: Expanding Racial and Economic Inclusion, thriving in the Post-COVID Economy, Banking on Small Business Success, Putting Policy into Practice and Wellbeing. The event will be hosted in the historic Hyatt Regency ballroom where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. held his final Southern Christian Leadership Conference focused on the Poor People's Campaign, which demanded economic and human rights for Americans of diverse backgrounds in 1968. Likewise, the HOPE annual meeting seeks to create 'social justice through an economic lens.'

"As we safely gather for the 2021 HOPE Forum, we know there are pressing conversations about financial literacy and economics that cannot be ignored. This year's meeting will bring together leaders from all over the world representing powerful industries who can – and will— do their part to affect meaningful change," said Operation HOPE Founder and event co-chair, John Hope Bryant. "This is our moment. Times are changing but our mission remains the same —to make the global economy work for everyone."
