Why Atlanta?

The Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, Inc. (SDPC) reconvenes our annual in-person and on-site conference in the city where it all began: Atlanta, GA. Founded in 2003, SDPC hosted our inaugural Clergy and Lay Leadership Conference in 2004, celebrating the launch of a new movement. As we enter our 20^th year celebrating “Where Future Meets Legacy,” we gather in the city that fostered Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., played a critical role in the civil rights movement, and remains an epicenter of black ingenuity and engagement.
