This event is the result of a partnership between the Georgia CIO Leadership Association (GCLA) and the Technology Association of Georgia. The goal of the event is to connect pre-qualified TAG-member companies with Georgia's CIOs. For the CIO it is a unique opportunity to hear from TAG-approved "vendor" companies. This program will also give CIOs the opportunity to hear about new technologies from smaller companies that would not usually be seen in a crowd. Following the event there will be a cocktail reception and an opportunity to visit our TAG member company exhibit booths.

For the companies, this is the ultimate opportunity. Three to five TAG-member companies will be selected to present their solutions to a prestigious group of Georgia GIOs. Companies will be selected based on submitted RFIs and given support and counsel on their presentations preceding the event. On the 29th, the selected companies will present to a group of more than 20 CIOs from Georgia's best companies. Following the event, every company will receive a ‘report card' from the audience and will be noted on the TAG website as being a selected company.

ATDC will be working with TAG and GCLA on this event. They will be providing pitch/presentation training to the selected companies.
