ATLANTA — The City of Atlanta has announced the launch of Showcase Atlanta’s official digital Vendor Directory designed to help local small businesses access economic opportunities surrounding major events, including the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Super Bowl LXII, blockbuster concerts, large conventions and more. Showcase Atlanta is part of the Dickens Administration’s broader mission for a resilient and thriving legacy and small business community in our city.
The vendor directory is an opportunity to increase visibility and revenue for Atlanta’s legacy and small business communities. Event planners, organizers and community members will have the opportunity to select the unique culture and flavor only Atlanta’s local suppliers, venues, and service providers can offer months or years out from the date of their arrival.
“The Showcase Atlanta Vendor Directory is designed to provide equitable access to the economic opportunities that come with large-scale events,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “With this program, our goal is to ensure our small businesses are not just spectators to the nation’s and world’s biggest events — they are direct participants.”
Atlanta residents and businesses—and the metro region—are also encouraged to utilize the Vendor Directory year-round to meet specific needs for their own events.
Showcase Atlanta—created and managed by the City—is a public-private not-for-profit initiative dedicated to ensuring Atlanta’s diverse business community is front and center as national and global events come to the city. The Vendor Directory is free and open to all local businesses and entrepreneurs interested in providing services to large-scale events.
Arthur Blank and Carol Tomé will serve as co-chairs of the Showcase Atlanta committee, alongside local business and civic leaders. The committee will advise the Mayor on city-led plans for these events and ensure that the local community is engaged and directly benefits.
“Atlanta and the entire state of Georgia continues to shine as a premier event and sports destination, and I’m thrilled to support Mayor Dickens alongside Carol Tomé as we highlight our city, state and community achievements through Showcase Atlanta,” said Arthur M. Blank, owner and chairman, Blank Family of Businesses.
