Atlanta Tech Week Kickoff Brunch

Atlanta Tech Week’s official kickoff is a free Sunday brunch at Atlanta Tech Park in Peachtree Corners—Day 1 of the Aug 9–14 week anchored by RenderATL. Drive Capital, First Citizens Bank, and Pilot present. Luma lists brunch around 11:30 AM with doors near 11:00 AM, opening remarks, and afternoon programming at Atlanta Tech Park and nearby Curiosity Lab; a later happy hour is also on some ATW day sheets. Admission is free; every person needs their own RSVP. All-day ATW passes unlock other sessions, but individual Tech Park rooms can still be first-come.

Peachtree Corners is Circuit Atlanta’s northside innovation geography—GA 400 / I-285, not a Buckhead mixer substitute. The hub already flags Perimeter, Alpharetta, and Peachtree Corners campuses as where HQ and tech density actually sit. ATW is the named summer ecosystem week; this brunch is how the week starts, not a random Eventbrite happy hour. Asian operators who work North Fulton IT, consulting, and startup-adjacent roles show up here even when Ascend Atlanta’s August registration is still “coming soon.”

Sunday, August 9, 2026, Atlanta Tech Park, 107 Technology Parkway NW. Park and enter at the rear of the building; overflow parking notes are on the Luma/ATW pages. Confirm live brunch vs programming hours before you drive—day sheets disagree slightly on check-in. Bring ID matching your RSVP. Midtown Tech Square Tech Hop is Friday the 14th if you only want one ATW badge day. Curiosity Lab programming is on some ATW day-one sheets—check atl.tech before assuming it is the same RSVP.

Treat brunch as introductions, not a pitch cattle call. Do not walk up without a Luma RSVP.

This kickoff is right if you build, fund, or operate in metro Atlanta tech and want the official week-open room in Peachtree Corners. Alpharetta AI Builders is Tuesday. Tech Square Tech Hop is Friday. USPAACC-SE in Duluth is the AAPI chamber day later in August.
