SUMMARY:Expat Expectations: Building Your Global Workforce in Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:As technology continues to shape the future of work\, companies are facing unprecedented challenges in managing their cross-border workforce.

SUMMARY:Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed Belgian-Colombian choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s original full-length narrative ballet Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon will delve into the complex life of one of the 20th century’s most intriguing iconoclasts. The woman who launched a global fashion empire\, Coco Chanel redefined the world of fashion and more than a century later her legacy continues. That legacy is defined in part by Chanel’s brilliant designs\, shrewd business acumen\, and glamorous lifestyle; it is also defined by immorality and opportunism in her rise to the top.
