Smith adds: “Working on a global platform, the biggest industries that we are looking at this year are Fintech - Gaming & Esports - Entertainment - and Sports & Sports Tech. Atlanta is one of the leading tech hubs in the U.S., but it’s not always acknowledged globally or even nationally. Our Host Committee and our participants are helping us change that. Atlanta is an innovative hot spot - and we have the most amazing panels to prove it.” 

Through its partnership with The Georgia Film Foundation (GFF) the summit will bring in top talents from its University partners: Kennesaw State University, Clark Atlanta University, and Georgia State University. One of the summit’s missions is to provide networking opportunities for students, leading to potential training opportunities.
