Where Ideas Meet Impact
Avant South is an annual event supporting Atlanta’s growth as a leading tech hub. Our city is nationally recognized as the tech capital of the South for producing top talent, nurturing innovation, and developing tomorrow’s leaders. But we’re aiming even higher – to become one of the nation’s top five technology and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Presented by the City of Atlanta in collaboration with local colleges and universities, Avant South explores the unique intersection of culture, innovation, and technology, highlighting the key role these elements play across industries.
This year, we’ll celebrate Atlanta’s legacy as a transportation powerhouse and how industry, entrepreneurs, and higher education collectively contribute to the continued growth of Atlanta and the Southeast.
Our Partnership With Atlanta Tech Week
Avant South is proud to partner with Atlanta Tech Week to spotlight the momentum driving
Atlanta’s tech ecosystem. Together, we’re creating a shared platform to amplify innovation
and connect the founders, builders, and technologists shaping the city’s future.
Electric energy. Bold ideas. One Atlanta.
Atlanta didn’t just show up — it showed out.
Avant South 2025 turned up the volume on innovation, bringing the city’s boldest thinkers, builders, and dreamers together for two unforgettable days of energy, connection, and momentum. From packed sessions to electric conversations, the vibe was pure ATL: vibrant, fearless, and future-focused. This is more than an event — it’s a movement, and Atlanta is leading the charge.
