SUMMARY:2026 Atlanta Black Tech Community Summit by Goodie Nation | We Have Friends Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 State of the Atlanta Black Tech Community Summit convenes the ecosystem at what is likely the most consequential inflection point in the history of Atlanta Black Tech. \n​The community is navigating a convergence of pressures that cannot be addressed in isolation. A hostile political environment is reshaping access\, funding\, and institutional support. AI has rapidly disrupted the technology sector\, fundamentally changing how work is done\, who is hired\, and what skills are valued. Mass layoffs across the tech industry have disproportionately impacted Black professionals in Atlanta\, with Black women bearing the greatest burden. At the same time\, economic conditions continue to tighten. inflation is rising\, housing costs are increasing\, and job security is declining\, with projections indicating further strain ahead. Public education systems\, from the federal to the local level\, remain under-resourced and unstable\, weakening traditional talent pipelines into technology careers. \n​And yet\, in the midst of this disruption\, Atlanta stands on the cusp of extraordinary global opportunity. \n​As the city prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup\, Atlanta will become a focal point for international investment\, corporate engagement\, cultural exchange\, and economic activity. For the Atlanta Black Tech community\, this moment presents both risk and possibility. Without coordination and preparation\, opportunity will bypass the community. With intention\, alignment\, and skill-building\, it can become a catalyst for revenue generation\, increased visibility\, and durable global relationships.

Startup founders pitch their business to the audience (similar to Shark Tank)\, then they will join their own breakout room to get feedback from the attendees (similar to a hackathon). People have been able to start a business as a result of this process. If you would like to pitch\, please RSVP here\, and sign up at check-in on the day of the event. \nWe meet on the 3rd Thursday evening of each month in person at our location at ATDC (Tech Square\, 2nd-floor lobby)! If you have any questions\, please reach out! ATDC is a technology incubator with world-class facilities – you will be impressed! \nFree food and drinks are provided beforehand at a partner event with ATDC.

Everyone here is welcome to attend both events for free. \nSchedule: \n5:00 PM EST – Doors Open/Networking \n5:10 – Catered food and drinks are served \n6:50 – Up to 10 founders are chosen to pitch; please sign up at check-in \n7:00 – Startup Oasis Begins\, each founder gets 3 minutes to pitch \n7:35 to 9 PM – Founders break off into break-out rooms and attendees can move around and help one for the remainder of the time\, similar to a hackathon. \nStartup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
