When Atlanta’s social scene needed a spark, Brittany D. Morton delivered a dazzling display of brilliance. As the visionary founder of Saved in the City, Morton has once again lit up the city with CityCon 2024—a spectacular comeback after a five-year hiatus that left everyone buzzing with excitement.

Morton’s journey from a graphic designer in Nashville, TN, to a trailblazing community leader is nothing short of inspiring. With a BS in Graphic Design and Marketing from Alabama A&M University, Morton launched her career with ambitions that soon exceeded her initial role. “It’s funny because for years I tried to find the one thing I wanted to do,” Morton reflects. “After graduating and landing that first job, I realized I was capable of so much more. But I wasn’t sure where to go next.”

Her career path, filled with unexpected twists, is a vibrant testament to the idea that life’s directions aren’t always straightforward. From working at an award-winning marketing firm to opening a Wellness Center at her alma mater, Morton’s journey culminated in founding Saved in the City, Inc.—a non-profit dedicated to uplifting and empowering communities across the nation.

This past weekend, Morton’s vision came alive at CityCon 2024 in Atlanta. The event, a thrilling return after a five-year pause, drew hundreds of attendees eager for a weekend rich in inspiration, empowerment, and connection. Thanks to overwhelming support and generosity, the conference was offered free of charge—a feat made possible by exceeding their fundraising goal. Originally aiming for $50,000, Morton and her team raised an impressive $53,000, allowing anyone interested to attend without a fee.

CityCon 2024 wasn’t just an event; it was a celebration of creativity and resilience. From dynamic speakers to interactive workshops, the conference echoed Morton’s commitment to making a meaningful impact.

“This event was not just a return; it was a renaissance,” Morton says with a smile. “We’ve been away for five years, and coming back with such incredible energy and turnout was more than I could have hoped for. It was exactly what our community needed.”
