Now more than ever, innovating businesses need access to resources in order to grow. This is why Venture Atlanta, one of the nation’s best venture capital conferences, will this year transform into Venture Atlanta Live Online in light of COVID-19. The 13th annual event will take place virtually on October 21-22. The call for presenting companies and attendee registration are now open.

Venture Atlanta Live Online will feature keynotes from Arianna Huffington, author and co-founder of The Huffington Post; Dug Song, co-founder of Duo Security, one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity providers; and Dharmesh Shah, founder and CTO of HubSpot.

The conference boasts over 1,000 annual attendees with over 250 funds that have led to $4.4 billion in funding raised and $14 billion in successful exits.

Venture Atlanta Live Online Will Deliver an Unparalleled Conference Experience
Allyson Eman, Venture Atlanta CEO, wants attendees to know that Venture Atlanta Live Online is not your typical videoconference or webinar. Instead, they’ll enjoy an unparalleled experience that streams two days of immersive events and interactive networking opportunities. Attendees will be able to connect with others at the conference, set up one-on-one meetings, stroll the virtual show floor, watch pitches in real-time and use features like live chat, digital notetaking and audience polling.

“We’re excited about the new online format,” said Eman. “For us, postponing wasn’t an option since good companies still need capital and connections, now more than ever. Our virtual platform brings all the benefits of Venture Atlanta to your computer or mobile screen. The format may be different, but its impact will meet or beat our previous conferences.”

With this year’s newly added All-Access pass, attendees will have on-demand access to Venture Atlanta Live Online content for a full year so they can catch up or re-watch conference segments whenever they want. Passholders will also have behind-the-scenes access to keynote speakers and updated content such as new pitch decks, round tables and investor profiles throughout the year.

“The investors we’ve talked to are still looking for companies. But in a time of online-only meetings, the best way to get in front of them is through a warm ‘virtual’ introduction. Our aim is to continue to make a meaningful difference for innovating companies, even during our current times,” said Eman.
