Silicon South Summit

Silicon South Summit is the flagship signature gathering of Atlanta Tech Week, the Southeast's premier convening of founders, investors, tech leaders, and talent, held on the RenderATL Expo Floor.

Across two full days, the Summit hosts the Startup Showcase presented with Google Cloud, where 40+ of the country's top startups show what they're building across AI, fintech, health tech, media, and more.
