 We are thrilled to announce a new venue and format for the RIA Summit.  In late April 2025 RIA retailers, the channel's top brands, and key associate partners will gather in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta to connect, share, learn, and get business done.  Owners will meet with brands execs and each other, buyers will see product lines, and key industry topics will be discussed.  The theme for the show will continue to be "Your Show, Your Way" with a dramatically simplified appointmemt format.  The focus will be innovation, both from a product standpoint and the tools we'll use to remain competitive in the marketplace.  So be sure to block your calendar, you'll be glad you did!

NEW LOCATION

Buckhead Atlanta

  • 3391 Peachtree Road NE

  • Atlanta, Georgia 30326

Enjoy skyline views from the bright and airy Westin Hotel in Buckhead Atlanta. Recently renovated, the hotel has undergone renovation for a modern feel in the upscale community of Buckhead.

Based on the feedback from The Summit 2024, we needed a larger, more versatile venue to accommodate additional, quieter meeting spaces in closer proximity with the hotel space. This new location will offer opportunities for more programming (including a track for smaller/newer stores), peer-sharing, one-on-one brand conversations, and increased schedule flexibility.



The venue is located 14 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
