Five summits, one badge, one price. Start with the ROI calculator to quantify the value — then grab the ready-to-send email covering The Land of the Summits, RenderFEST, workshops, and everything else in your pass.
FOR YOUR TEAM
Why Sending Someone Pays Off
RenderATL is a working investment in your team, not a perk. One badge unlocks five summits plus the main conference — use the ROI calculator on this page to show the math, then make your case.
The Real Signal, Not The Sales Pitch
Cut through vendor noise. Hear straight from practitioners shipping AI, platform, and product at scale: what they kept, what they killed, what's worth piloting. No booth-speak.
The Cheapest Retention Move You'll Make
Sending your team to a flagship event is one of the loudest ways to say this company backs its engineers. It shows up in retention, and it shows up in offers.
Five Summits, One Badge
The Land of the Summits bundles GTM, AI, observability, open source, and legal-tech programming into one pass — so you can route cross-functional colleagues to the right track without buying separate summit tickets.
A Room Full Of People To Call Later
Two days shoulder to shoulder with builders from across the South and beyond. The hallway talks and RenderFEST nights turn into future hires, partners, and the people you text when you're stuck.

Hi [Manager], I'd like to attend RenderATL 2026 in Atlanta, August 12–13, and I want to frame this less as a conference trip and more as focused AI upskilling for the team. Context on the event: the OpenJS Foundation — the org behind Node.js — selected RenderATL to host Node.js Interactive 2026, its flagship technical conference. It's promoted on the nodejs.org homepage right now. That's rare independent validation. Why now, specifically: we're [shipping / evaluating / under pressure to adopt] AI features, and most of what's out there is either vendor keynotes or hype. RenderATL's AI programming is hands-on and practitioner-led — engineers who have actually shipped AI products at scale, not just demoed them: - Atlanta AI Expo — workshops on building, shipping, and scaling real AI applications: agent architectures, eval and testing practices, cost/latency tradeoffs in production. Directly applicable to [our current project/roadmap item]. - New Relic Summit — observability and reliability for AI-powered systems, which is exactly where our gaps will be once features hit production. - Legal Tech Summit — practical AI governance and risk frameworks. Worth flagging for [legal/compliance team] — this is the stuff they'll be asking us about in Q4 anyway. - Plus Node.js Interactive and a Go To Market summit — five tracks total, all on one badge, no add-on passes. The economics: comparable AI + platform programming bought à la carte means multiple event tickets and trips. This is one badge, one short flight to a well-connected hub, catering included during program hours, and Atlanta Tech Week (free citywide programming) stacked on the same trip. Estimated all-in cost: - Pass: $[X] (current pricing holds through [date]) - Hotel: 1-2 nights, ~$150–280/night - Flight: $[X] ([origin]-ATL) - Meals/transport: ~$50–80/day - Total: ~$[X] What you'll get back: a written trip report, a 30-minute team share-out the week after, and 2–3 concrete recommendations — specifically, patterns and tooling we could pilot for [AI initiative/feature]. I'll have coverage handled while I'm out. If useful: group discounts apply, and the tracks map cleanly to engineering, AI/ML, platform, GTM, and legal — a small cross-functional group on one trip could cover several teams' AI learning budgets at once. For benchmark-backed numbers on my plan, I used RenderATL's ROI calculator: https://renderatl.com/convince-your-boss#roi-calculator Can we approve by [date] to lock current pricing? [Name]
