Atlanta Tech Week | August 9 - 14, 2026

Last June, Atlanta did something special. 15,000 builders, founders, investors, and community members came together across the entire city for one week that proved Atlanta belongs at the top of the tech conversation. August 9-14th is right around the corner. How will you show up?

Atlanta is the future of tech. 🍑 Aug 9–14 we’re hosting a week of curated connections to spark ideas and shape the city's tech scene. Save the date and get involved early! Explore more at atl.tech

2026 needs a whole new album! Aug 9–14, Atlanta Tech Week is back and we’re bringing the whole city. Get involved: 1) Host a neighborhood experience, submissions open soon. 2) Sponsor our ecosystem and get your brand seen. 3) Attend a workshops, social, and more!

We're going to see an explosion of in-person events in the next year. As our feeds and inboxes get sloppified by AI, we'll lose our ability to discern what's real and credible. Which means more people will turn to the only real thing left: in-person. I'm seeing it already. For many of my partners, dinners are their MOST effective sales channel. Because, frankly, everyone is sick of automated AI outbound agents hitting you up on DMs, phone, email, etc. If you know how to put a room together, you won't just be a great community person. You'll be a great salesperson too.

In Atlanta, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the blueprint. Join Justin Samuels, Anastasia Simon, Grant Wainscott, & Maddie Harper on today at 11:30 AM in the Academy of Medicine Theater for Collaboration Over Competition. No advance ticket needed — register on site!

Yes, Atlanta Tech Week is about innovation and ideas... but it’s also about the people. The chance encounter that leads to your next big role, the hallway chat that sparks a new partnership, the panel that reminds you why you started. And we can’t wait to do it again next year!

At this year’s AI Summit during Atlanta Tech Week, the brightest builders, thinkers, and doers came together to move beyond the buzzwords. We talked real applications, real frameworks, and real challenges because in ATL, we don’t just predict the future of AI, we build it...

The magic of #ATW2025 is still buzzing! From deep conversations to inspiring sessions and everything in between, we united Atlanta through tech. Keep sharing those ATW moments!

Atlanta Tech Week successfully proved that it’s the learning opportunity of the year. We left with new insights, new connections, and a renewed sense of what’s possible when brilliant minds come together in Atlanta. What was your biggest takeaway? Drop it below. 👇

15,000+ attendees. One week. All across the city. Atlanta Tech Week 2025 showed us what happens when the entire city leans into innovation. From coffee shop meetups to packed panels to late-night mixers, we watched real community happen across every corner of Atlanta.

Still buzzing from last week at @AtlantaTechWeek and @RenderATL 🔥 The energy was unreal - and we were proud to be part of it. SparkyAI! had its own booth on site, and it became more than just a demo zone - it became a conversation hub. We talked about behavioral science, content that actually converts, and what the future of AI marketing could look like (hint: more human, less robotic). Truly inspiring to meet so many fellow founders, builders, and bold thinkers shaping what’s next. The community here is on fire. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by. If we missed you, let’s fix that - DM me and we’ll give you the inside tour. #AtlantaTechWeek #RenderATL #SparkyAI #BehavioralScience

Yapping about biz of gaming & esports today at @RenderATL with @ryanranitup & others. If you are around come say hi.

Love catching our @ATLTechVillage Villagers, friends and family in the wild at #atltechweek events! Great lineup today, @zaneventurefund @portalinno @AtlantaTechWeek @OrrickTech ! 👏👏👏

They say it takes a village to raise a child. Turns out, it takes one to win a pitch on less than 24 hours' notice, too. What a week it’s been for the @TheSparkyAI team, and it’s only Wednesday. We got a call Monday morning about an incredible last-minute opportunity: a spot in the @ventureatlanta Pitchfest on Tuesday evening. The challenge was immense, but our belief in what we're building is bigger. I’m THRILLED to announce that we pulled it off and we won a “fast pass” qualifier for Venture Atlanta 2025! For those who don't know, Venture Atlanta is a MASSIVE deal. Last year, 630 companies applied for just 88 spots. So, to be selected as one of the first four through this Pitchfest, representing the amazing ecosystem at @ATLTechVillage, is something our whole team is incredibly proud of. My biggest lesson so far this week is a powerful reaffirmation: your community is one of your greatest competitive advantage. This win belongs to the entire Atlanta tech ecosystem that has supported us. Our success was built on the confidence of others, and we owe a few thank yous: 💡 To Atlanta Tech Village: Your belief in us to fill this spot at the last second means the world. Thank you for being the ultimate launchpad. 💡 To @googlestartups, and specifically the Atlanta @googlecloud team: Your continued support is a huge part of our journey. Thank you for always being in our corner. 💡 To Venture Atlanta & @AtlantaTechWeek: Thank you for the platform and for showcasing the best of our region's talent. 💡 To the Panel of Judges: We appreciate your time, expertise, and challenging questions. 💡 To the other 7 companies: The bar was incredibly high. It was an honor to share the stage and hear your stories. This is what a supportive ecosystem looks like in action. We can't wait to share our story and our vision for the future of marketing with the investors and attendees at Venture Atlanta on October 15-16 at The Woodruff Arts Center. Who in your "village" has helped you seize a key opportunity? Tag them below!
