The two-day conference will feature keynote speakers, breakout sessions, panel discussions, networking opportunities, and an expo showcasing research and real-life applications of AI.

As part of an effort to position the university as a convener of people, ideas, and conversations surrounding the world’s most important technological issues, Georgia Institute of Technology will host its inaugural “Avant South” event September 28 and 29 with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and responsible stewardship.

The two-day event will feature keynote speakers, breakout sessions, panel discussions, networking opportunities, and an expo showcasing research and real-life applications of AI.​ The goal is to create an experience for all levels of professionals and entrepreneurs where they can come to Georgia Tech and interact with speakers, researchers, and industry leaders.

“Avant South” is part of InnovATL, a citywide platform that amplifies the voices of metro Atlanta entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators. This year’s edition is scheduled to take place during the first week of a monthlong celebration of Atlanta’s innovation ecosystem — between Venture Atlanta, one of the nation’s largest venture capital conferences, and the AC3 Festival, which honors hip-hop culture and the city’s impact in music, technology, and entertainment.
