2026 Atlanta Black Tech Community Summit by Goodie Nation | We Have Friends Everywhere
2026-02-03 | RSVP of Etowah County, 800 Forrest Ave # 221, Gadsden, AL 35901, Gadsden, AL, 35901, United States
The 2026 State of the Atlanta Black Tech Community Summit convenes the ecosystem at what is likely the most consequential inflection point in the history of Atlanta Black Tech.
​The community is navigating a convergence of pressures that cannot be addressed in isolation. A hostile political environment is reshaping access, funding, and institutional support. AI has rapidly disrupted the technology sector, fundamentally changing how work is done, who is hired, and what skills are valued. Mass layoffs across the tech industry have disproportionately impacted Black professionals in Atlanta, with Black women bearing the greatest burden. At the same time, economic conditions continue to tighten. inflation is rising, housing costs are increasing, and job security is declining, with projections indicating further strain ahead. Public education systems, from the federal to the local level, remain under-resourced and unstable, weakening traditional talent pipelines into technology careers.
​And yet, in the midst of this disruption, Atlanta stands on the cusp of extraordinary global opportunity.
​As the city prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Atlanta will become a focal point for international investment, corporate engagement, cultural exchange, and economic activity. For the Atlanta Black Tech community, this moment presents both risk and possibility. Without coordination and preparation, opportunity will bypass the community. With intention, alignment, and skill-building, it can become a catalyst for revenue generation, increased visibility, and durable global relationships.
