Atlanta Technology Professionals

Organizations across every industry are investing in new technologies at a remarkable pace. But technology alone doesn't create transformation.

The organizations seeing the greatest returns are investing just as heavily in governance, leadership, workforce readiness, and change management as they are in technology itself. That's the readiness gap.

At ATP's Industry Forum, we'll explore what it takes to align technology adoption with organizational reality, and why organizational readiness is becoming a competitive advantage. Join the conversation on August 20.

Please join us in welcoming the newest members of ATP’s Board of Directors!

We’re excited to welcome leaders who are bringing their experience, perspectives, and commitment to advancing Atlanta’s technology community into this next chapter of ATP.

As members of the Board of Directors, Alana Avis, Cecilia Cheeks, Charlie Dino, and Ted Scott will help guide our strategic direction, strengthen our mission, and support the continued growth of our organization and the technology professionals we serve.

Organizations are investing in new technologies faster than ever, but technology alone doesn't drive transformation. Success depends on people, leadership, culture, and the ability to adapt.

Join ATP's Industry Forum: Adoption to Action – Closing the Readiness Gap for an evening of thought leadership, executive networking, and facilitated industry discussions exploring how organizations can better prepare for continuous change.
