Join us as we celebrate the exceptional achievements of the French-American Business Community

The Crystal Peach Awards Ceremony is the largest event for the French American business community in the region. Started in 2005, each year we recognize the exceptional achievement of the French American business Community. The nominees for each category have been revealed last week and our FACC-Members submitted their vote to decide which company will win the Crystal Peach Awards. The results of this important vote will be announced during our gala.

Join us next Thursday, November 4 in a prestigious and exclusive private Club in Buckhead to celebrate the longstanding economic ties between the French and American business community in the Southeast of the United States across all sectors, while enjoying a delicious French inspired 3 course meal dinner. Take a sneak peek at the menu here.

This year's black tie optional Gala is also the official closing ceremony of France-Atlanta. A VIP Pre-Event Cocktail Reception will be co-hosted by our patron Member, FPL Food.

We will have the honor to welcome:

- Vincent Hommeril, Consul General of France in Atlanta,

- Dr Chaouki T. Abdallah, Executive Vice President of Research, Georgia Tech

as well as Alain Bellemare, as our Keynote Speaker, who will talk about the reopening of the U.S. borders for vaccinated international travellers and how international business travel will look like post COVID.

This Gala is the perfect opportunity to develop new business relations, reconnect with old friends, mingle with the Chamber's Board of Directors as well as top French and American corporate executives, business partners, entrepreneurs from various industries and the representatives of Georgia Department of Economic Development, City of Atlanta, City of Peachtree Corners, ...

Two round Trips ATL-Paris, offered by Air France, and two round trips ATL-Paris in Premium Select, offered by Delta Air Lines, will be auctioned during the evening, as well as a two-night stay for two at Intercontinental Le Grand Paris Hotel.
