A joint meetup during Atlanta Tech Week Hosted by REFACTR.TECH, Atlanta JavaScript, ReactATL, Modern Web, and Atlanta Vue.js. Sponsored and hosted by CallRail. Monday, August 10, 2026 · 6:30–9:00pm CallRail, Atlanta Some of the most influential voices in tech are in Atlanta for RenderATL, and we're getting them in a room with our community for a night of real career stories. This is a joint meetup across five of Atlanta's developer communities, built around a simple idea: the people who shape the industry got there through pivots, detours, and lessons that rarely make it onto a conference slide. We're giving four of them the space to share those stories, then opening the floor for a conversation about where the industry is headed. Come for the speakers. Stay for the conversations that happen after. Who it's for Anyone technically minded and curious, whether you're early in your career, mid-pivot, or deep into senior and leadership work. Expect a friendly, engaged crowd from across Atlanta's JavaScript, React, Vue, and broader tech communities. Format Career Stories — 4 speakers, 15 minutes each Fireside-style conversations focused on each speaker's journey: the key moments, the pivots, and the lessons learned along the way. We'll shape the questions together ahead of time. Full Panel — 30 minutes A collaborative discussion on the future of the industry, practical advice you can actually use, and audience Q&A.
