RenderATL is a tech conference dedicated to diverse perspectives in Atlanta

RenderATL is a different kind of tech conference that is far away from the tech heartland of Silicon Valley. Based in Atlanta, it’s all about bringing more diverse engineers and people into the community of technologists.

Started in 2019 by Justin Samuels, founder and CEO of RenderATL, the event now brings an economic impact of over $6.5 million to Atlanta and it expects more than 5,000 attendees at this year’s event taking place June 12 to June 14 at America’s Mart during Atlanta Tech Week.
