TAG Field Trips
About TAG Field Trips:
The TAG Field Trip program, established in 2005, has been enthusiastically received by our membership. The inaugural FT program was launched at Internap, followed by programs at McKesson and CheckFree.
Each program featured a presentation by one of the company’s corporate leaders; an in-depth tour; and a sumptuous reception. “There is no other program that regularly provides the depth, breadth, and scope of education obtainable provided through TAG’s Field Trip program”, says TAG CEO Tino Mantella. “Our participating members tell us that they are amazed at the level of detail each host company is willing to share and the significant take-away value they have receive through their involvement."
See the impressive ‘10’ lineup, below. This program is open only to TAG & ATP (Atlanta Telecom Professional) members.

St. Joseph's Translational Research Institute is a private, non-profit preclinical research institute operating a GLP compliant, AAALAC accredited facility with over a decade of experience. We strive to discover innovative and potentially life-saving medical treatments. SJTRI gathers scientists, physician, and academic and industry partners to conduct research and physician/sales force training on medical devices, drugs and biologics. The Institute focuses on product development in medical fields sich as cardiology, orthopedics, and regenerative medicine. This will be a guided tour of the facility with stops on our tour at stations such as the ORs and Cath Labs, Histology Labs, Vascular Function Lab, Cell Culture Lab and Phase I Clinical Trials (not based @ SJTRI labs, but part of our continuum of research).

Georgia Tech's Nanotechnology Research Center (NRC) is a research enabler, providing state-of-the-art equipment resources, staff expertise, training, and teaming environments to enable fabrication and characterization on the micro and nano scale. The NRC is supported by the National Science Foundation as the southeast node in the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) and operates as an open, hands-on user facility. The Georgia Tech NRC provides a unique resource to researchers from the state, region and nation, to develop new microelectronics, optics, sensors and actuators and to evaluate unique nano-materials and surfaces with an emphasis on applications in bioengineering and biomedicine.
Research activity at the NRC is carried out in both the Pettit Microelectronics Research Building and the newly-constructed Marcus Nanotechnology Building. The Pettit building houses an 8,500 sq. ft. cleanroom with nearly 100 pieces of equipment, while the Marcus building includes (in Phase I) an additional 10,000 sq. ft. of semiconductor cleanroom space for nanoelectronic device (top down) fabrication as well as 5,000 sq. ft. of biological (bottom up) cleanroom space, including Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2) bays. Additional space is provided for characterization and metrology, chemical processing, biotechnology, and meeting areas.
Nanotechnology is playing a vital role in technological advancement and continued innovation by offering miniaturization of existing devices, synthesis of smart materials, new chemistry and manufacturing routes. During this Field Trip, TAG members will have an opportunity to learn how this technology is implemented, get a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most advanced cleanroom facilities in the nation, view demonstrations of advanced fabrication and characterization tools, and see some of the new prototypes and products that result from this research.

Exclusive to TAG Members and their Families: An Evening at Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta - Join the CyberSquad!!!
TAG Members are invited to bring their young children to Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta for an evening of fun and learning.
It is the classic good vs. evil adventure as the dastardly Hacker attempts to overtake Cyberspace, but he is continuously outsmarted by three curious kids and one cyberbird determined to stop him. Children will join forces with the CyberSquad in their quest to save Cyberspace as they zoom into an out-of-this-world, educational exhibit.
Members will have the opportunity to explore the other exhibits the museum has to offer as well as be entertained by the museum's acting group.
