The Cobb Chamber will celebrate its many accomplishments of 2026 at the 85th Annual Dinner celebration, presented by Wellstar, on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2027 at the Cobb Convention Center Atlanta. Over 1,200 business and community leaders attend the highly anticipated black-tie affair each year, including military leaders, economic development partners and elected officials. A cocktail reception at 6 p.m. kicks off the celebration, followed by a 7 p.m. dinner and program. This year’s theme, Enchanted Blooms, brings the romance of a garden at its peak to a black-tie-optional gala where attendees can wear their most elegant attire, embracing rich jewel tones, floral accents, and botanical embellishments.
The highlight of the evening will be the ceremonial passing of leadership from outgoing Chairwoman Melissa Cantrell of CDH Partners to 2027 Chairman Pete Quinones of MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service. The Chamber will also present several prestigious awards at the gala including the Chairman’s Award, the Dr. Robert A Lipson Award, the Mack Henderson Public Service Award, the Len Gilbert Award, and the Marietta Daily Journal will name their Citizen of the Year.
