Today is my 1 year Deviversary and yes I just made that word up! I’ve officially been a software developer professionally for a year!!!! I’m so proud of my progress n celebrated by learning to release production code today! I’m excited to see where I go from here!
Last year was BIG.
8,000 attendees inside the conference. 15,000+ people across Atlanta Tech Week. Hundreds of events happening throughout the city.
And somehow… 2026 is already shaping up to be even bigger.
OpenJS. The A.I. Summit. More workshops. More community. More of the people building what’s next.
August 12-13 can't get here fast enough.

RenderATL ambassadors aren't just posting about a conference.
They're helping people discover community, opportunities, and a place where they actually belong in tech.
If you love sharing your perspective, connecting people, and being part of something bigger, the ambassador program might be for you.

the AI summit is back for year two and it's bigger. world-class speakers. hands-on workshops. breakthrough demos. all included with your renderatl ticket. i need you to understand this
People always talk about the speakers, the workshops, the hiring, the networking. But one thing we hear over and over after RenderATL is: “I didn’t expect it to feel like this.”
One of the VPs at Warner Bros. Discovery described RenderATL as “an embrace from a long lost cousin,” and honestly… that’s probably one of the best ways to explain it. Yes, people come to learn. Yes, they come to grow their careers. But they also come to feel connected.
To be around other people who get them. To be in rooms where they don’t feel out of place. To feel welcomed instead of just tolerated. That matters more than people think. Get your tickets at https://t.co/Ft82imfHRa
A lot of people come to RenderATL expecting to learn something technical. What they don’t expect is how many real relationships they leave with.
Mentors. Friends. Future coworkers. People who help them think bigger about their career and leadership journey. And honestly, people are always surprised by the energy too 😭
There’s this weird stereotype that tech people are awkward or boring until you get to RenderATL and realize everybody’s outside having a good time, learning, networking, and building community at the same time.
That’s what makes our conference feel so different.

Developers hitting Ctrl + S every 2.7 seconds like the computer is personally plotting against them 😭
At this point it’s not even a shortcut anymore. It’s emotional support tbh.

TO THE DIRECTORS, VPs, AND PEOPLE LEADING ENGINEERING TEAMS:
Your developers can learn syntax anywhere.
What’s harder to teach is confidence, communication, collaboration, leadership, and learning how to build alongside community.
That’s the stuff that changes careers long term.
RenderATL brings together engineers, managers, founders, and builders from all over for a week full of technical learning and actual human connection.
And if your meetup, bootcamp, nonprofit, or tech community is doing good work in the South, community partner applications are open too.

the AI summit is included with your pass and not a $500 add-on. i repeat: INCLUDED. no upsell. just show up and learn about the thing reshaping everything
people keep asking what's included with the ticket. here you go: main conference. AI summit. openjs summit. renderfest. expo. networking. ONE badge. ONE price. stop overthinking it
august 12-13. atlanta. 10,000+ builders in one building. 150+ speakers. one badge gets you everything. i'm not gonna keep explaining this just get your ticket
Not to be dramatic, but becoming a RenderATL ambassador might be one of the easiest “yes” decisions you make this month.
You do not need 100k followers. You do not need to be the loudest person online. You just need to genuinely love tech, community, and sharing your perspective.
We’re looking for creators, builders, engineers, students, career changers, community people… all of it.
If selected, you’ll get a complimentary RenderATL 2026 ticket plus opportunities to connect with the RenderATL team, partners, and community all year long.
Applications are open until the end of the month. Apply through the link in bio or at https://t.co/8B4tEhfm74
The Atlanta Tech Week A.I. Summit is officially back for year two and honestly… it got a lot bigger.
And yes, it’s included with every RenderATL ticket.
If you’ve been trying to keep up with how fast AI is moving, this is probably one of the better places to do it because the people actually building this stuff are gonna be here sharing what they’re learning in real time.
Expect demos, workshops, conversations, and a lot of “wait… that’s actually crazy” moments throughout the day.

Hiring great engineers is hard. Especially right now...
The best talent usually isn’t sitting around refreshing job boards all day. They’re building, contributing to community, learning, networking, and showing up in rooms like RenderATL. That’s why companies keep coming back.
RenderATL brings together thousands of engineers, builders, technical leaders, and emerging talent from across the country and around the world all in one place. And our concierge team helps make the process easier.
Instead of your team trying to figure out where to start, who to talk to, or how to connect with the right people in the middle of a massive conference… let us help. We specialize in helping companies create meaningful connections with the right talent and community.
You focus on the conversations. We’ll help with the hard part.

The biggest blocker with getting support for @RenderATL is a lot of people preconceived and misinformed notions about Atlanta. Especially San Francisco folks will say “I didn’t know yall got tech out there like that” 🤣.
It’s the 3rd highest concentration of Fortune companies, cmon 🤣
