About TAG 

It's a new world for tech. Boom gave way to bust which gave way to recovery. Around the world, companies and organizations were forced to reinvent themselves with a greater focus on the customer, sustainable business models and return on investment.

The Technology Association of Georgia has emerged with a refined mission, a renewed commitment, and a new president, Tino Mantella . TAG is dedicated to the promotion and economic advancement of the state's technology industry and provides leadership in driving initiatives in the areas of policy, capital, education and giving. TAG also brings the technology community together through events, initiative programs and networking opportunities.

Membership in TAG puts you in good company: a who's who of tech leaders and pioneers. TAG is an unmatched way to network with peers…to grow professionally, to find a job or hire an employee…and to grow your skills. Our 2500+ membership includes thought leaders from technology companies – small and large, executives of FORTUNE 500 companies, investors, service providers, government and civic leaders and entrepreneurs.

TAG was launched in January, 1999 with the merger of three of the state's largest technology organizations: the Southeastern Software Association, the Business and Technology Alliance and Women in Technology. At its launch, TAG became one of the largest technology organizations in the country.

Today, TAG's mission is to help Georgia's technology companies speak in a strong voice. The Association helps members connect with companies that use their services. We serve as a liaison with Chambers of Commerce statewide and beyond to attract new businesses and employees…to provide TAG members with information on the legislative agenda that impacts them.

While TAG isn't a lobbying organization (our charter prohibits lobbying), the Association helps prioritize the issues facing Georgia's technology companies by working closely with other organizations like AeA and its Technology Leadership Coalition (TLC). TAG doesn't duplicate the efforts of lobbying groups - it collaborates with them.

Membership in The Technology Association of Georgia is an investment in your career and your company's success. You have instant access to our specialized groups that focus on all manner of industries. TAG's Societies are large groups that include women in technology, software development, healthcare, marketing and local groups of tech professionals around the state.

Our SIGs, or special interest groups, encompass more than a dozen disciplines, from conducting business internationally to raising capital, from outsourcing to project management, technology in entertainment to offshore development solutions.

Join TAG today…because it is the strength of our membership that builds value in TAG and will help us impact the future of technology in Georgia.
