TAG Community Events

TAG/ATDC Entrepreneur’s Society is pleased to announce that we have invited Venture Atlanta to participate in our March 4th monthly meeting from 7:30 a.m. – 9:00 in the Hodges Room at 75 5th Street.

Venture Atlanta, Georgia’s technology innovation event, is where Georgia’s top technology innovators meet the country’s top-tier investors. As the state’s largest investor showcase, Venture Atlanta connects local entrepreneurs with venture capitalists, bankers, angel investors and others who can help them raise the capital they need to grow their businesses. The annual nonprofit event is a collaboration of three leading Georgia business organizations: Atlanta CEO Council, Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG).

Venture Atlanta will be opening its call for companies for this year’s conference very soon. Last year close to 50 companies had the opportunity to participate in Venture Atlanta. Come hear about their experiences directly from some of the presenters, learn how they prepared for Venture Atlanta, and listen to their pitches. We’re also bringing in members from last year’s selection committee to give you a close up look at how they make the selections for Venture Atlanta and what you need to do to get prepared now!

There is no fee to apply to present at Venture Atlanta and if you are selected, there are no fees to present. For more information go to www.ventureatlanta.org.
