Building the Southern Silicon Stage
Silicon South Group sets the stage for the advancement of technology across the South. Since 2021, we've grown from a single conference into a family of brands that bring builders, companies, and communities together — in Atlanta and everywhere the South shows up.
Who We Are
The South is everywhere.
We got tired of flying to the West Coast to be in the room. Atlanta has the world’s busiest airport, a deep bench of talent, and a culture all its own, so we built a stage the world flies to instead. What started as a single conference is now a family of brands reaching builders on the conference floor, across the city, in open source, and all year at our HQ. Community-first, belonging-forward.

How We Can Work Together
Whether you're hiring, launching a product, or building thought leadership, we connect you with the South's most engaged technical community — on stage, in the room, and year-round.
01
Sponsorship
Put your brand at the center of the South’s biggest week in tech. Sponsorships span RenderATL, Atlanta Tech Week, and The Commits, from expo booths and stage time to hands-on workshops and branded experiences. Render Pink Points send attendees straight to you, with every check-in and scan tracked.
02
Silicon South Partner Program
Your brand, in front of the South’s builders all year. Meetups at RenderATL HQ, podcast and livestream features, sponsorship credit across all our events, and opt-in pipeline insights to reach enterprise decision-makers and your next hires.
03
Hiring & Talent
Meet engineers before they’re on the market. Reach a community where more than a third are senior level or higher, connect with verified engineering talent, and post roles to builders across the South. Partners like Axon have seen applicant volume rise and convert into hires.
04
Custom Activations
Have an idea bigger than a booth? We’ll build it with you. From a sustainability hackathon at the historic Biltmore to a founder and investor evening at Cosm and private partner experiences at F1 Arcade, we design events around your goals, anywhere from Atlanta to the cities on our national tour.
05
Conference as a Service
Bring your own conference inside RenderATL. We handle venue, production, and hospitality; you get a full event with its own identity and RenderATL's reach.
06
Impact Partnership
Invest in the South’s tech future through the Silicon South Foundation. Fund sponsored access, micro-grants, and workforce programs that open doors for the next generation of builders and founders across the region.

The South always makes room for one more, and so do we. We’re always planning what’s next, and partners who join early get first pick of activations, speaking slots, and premium placements across all our brands.
