Developers, cybersecurity pros, founders, and tech innovators all in one room at the Bloom Bar. August 11th, 6–9PM. Build real connections, find mentors, unlock opportunities you never saw coming.

XSix hands-on labs. Real tools. No slides. BLD ATL isn't a track you watch - it's one you build in. Six 75-minute hands-on labs over two days, built for developers and engineers who'd rather write code than take notes. Day one is about the systems behind the systems: building, evaluating, and securing multi-agent AI. Day two follows a single thread - the Coffee Shop Journey - from a recommendation agent to location optimization to a personal productivity assistant, so you leave having actually built something end to end, not just watched someone else do it. If you're the kind of person who learns by doing, not by sitting through a keynote about doing, BLD ATL is your part of the Summit. Access: RenderATL ticket required. Purchase your ticket here . When: August 12-13, AmericasMart, Downtown Atlanta.

New Relic Unplugged Happy hour just got an upgrade. Come through for sips, bites, and good conversation with the crew building the tools devs actually love using. Grab a cocktail, mingle with fellow builders, and vibe out on the patio. No pitch decks - just good people and a great time before Render Roof kicks off. Wed, Aug 12, 2026 6:00 - 8:00 PM Retreat by TGS - 1115 Howell Mill Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318 RenderATL Badge + RSVP Required

XThis is a curated group of founders across AI, healthcare, fintech, media, sports tech, and cleantech, picked because their companies are worth an investor's time - and worth yours. Every startup on the showcase floor went through a real selection process, not a sign-up sheet. For founders , this is their shot at visibility in front of the people who matter, without having to cold-email your way into a meeting. For investors , this is deal flow that's already been filtered, so you're not sifting through a hundred pitches to find the five that matter. For everyone else walking the floor , this is what the next generation of companies actually looks like, up close. Two days on the Silicon South Summit floor at AmericasMart. Come see who's building. Access: RenderATL ticket required. Purchase your RenderATL ticket here . When: August 12-13, AmericasMart, Downtown Atlanta.

XA full day of AI engineering content - hands-on workshops, breakthrough demos, and speakers from the front lines of what's actually shipping. Every company says they're "doing AI." This is where you find out who actually is. The ATL AI Expo is a full day built for executives, technologists, and builders who are past the hype cycle and into the harder question: how do you actually put this to work inside a real company, with real constraints? Expect keynotes and panels from people solving that problem right now, build-a-thons for the people who'd rather test it than talk about it, and workshops that leave you with something usable instead of just inspired. This isn't AI as a concept. It's AI as a Tuesday-morning decision your team has to make. Access: I summits are routinely sold as premium add-ons. RenderATL includes it. No upsell. No second ticket. Purchase your RenderATL ticket here . When: August 12-13 from 11:00am - 5:00pm
