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. Guided by the theme “We Have Friends Everywhere,” the 2026 summit serves as a strategic gathering to help the community move from vulnerability to leverage. The summit centers on two urgent priorities:
AI Upskilling and Education: equipping Black technologists, founders, operators, community leaders, and students with the knowledge and tools needed to remain competitive, build resilient businesses, and lead in an AI-driven economy.
World Cup Readiness and Opportunity: translating global attention into tangible outcomes for Black-owned tech companies, creatives, and professionals through contracts, partnerships, and long-term relationships.
Through a series of facilitated conversations, the summit will confront hard realities while offering practical pathways forward focusing on economic resilience, workforce reinvention, founder sustainability, and collective positioning. It is a space for alignment, not abstraction; for strategy, not speculation.
