In its 15th year, the largest technology conference in the Southeast will feature 36 Atlanta startups at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, according to the conference lineup.
On Oct. 19-20, 85 Southeastern companies will present at the Venture Atlanta conference to an expected attendance of at least 1,200 entrepreneurs, investors and students. After the on-stage presentations, entrepreneurs will meet with investors, aiming to form partnerships to help grow their businesses.
Around 350 investors will be present at the conference including NEA, Accel, Bain Capital, Cox Enterprises, Knoll Ventures and Noro-Moseley Partners among others.
The annual conference has helped over 650 companies connect with capital that has resulted in approximately $7 billion in funding and $17 billion in exits from those companies, CEO of Venture Atlanta Allyson Eman said in February.
Delivery platform Roadie, which was acquired by UPS, and financial technology company Kabbage, which was acquired by American Express, were exposed to some of their investors at this conference.
