Primerica Convention 2013

June 12, 2013toJune 15, 2013

June12-15, 2013–Georgia Dome/GWCC

Primerica will launch its new corporate foundation, and it will make its first donation to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed at the Georgia Dome on Friday.  The company is making a $50,000 donation to the Centers of Hope, a program championed by Reed to give young people a place to go for educational and recreational activities.  The grant will go toward financial literacy programs offered in the Centers of Hope.

In return, Reed will present Primerica with the Phoenix Award for the company’s contributions in metro Atlanta.

Primerica’s Convention takes place every two years and this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. This year’s convention is particularly exciting because Primerica will be moved into their new international headquarters at #1 Primerica Parkway in Duluth, Georgia. Representatives attending the convention will have an opportunity to tour the brand new headquarters for the first time.

The opening event will be especially moving.  The company’s original founder – Art Williams – will be a featured speaker, the first time he’s appeared and spoken at a company event since he sold the company in 1990.

The Regency Suites Hotel in Midtown is THE place to stay when attending events at the Georgia Dome/Philips Arena or Georgia World Congress Center.  We are located next to the Midtown Marta Station, your direct transport to these event facilities and all of Atlanta’s attractions.  Many fabulous restaurants, Arts District and shopping venues are only steps away.  Enjoy a complimentary breakfast, Internet, and Dinner.  Call any of our hotel representatives for more information!
