“Georgia is shaping culture, creativity and entertainment domestically and internationally. We are thrilled to share this beautiful publication with decision makers and influencers around the globe,” said Jezlan Moyet, President of Georgia Entertainment and Co-Publisher.

This edition features the 200 most influential leaders shaping the state’s creative industries. Their recognition stems from a meticulous process involving nominations, extensive research, and insightful interviews with key figures.

“I’m incredibly proud of the dedication and effort our team poured into this substantial project. From compiling to editing and ensuring engagement, it was a labor-intensive endeavor.
