Atlanta Tech Meetup Group - February Meetup!

Atlanta Tech Meetup Group is back, and we’re kicking things off with a refreshed format in partnership with FTS Recruitment!

For this meetup, we’ll host a panel discussion with local tech and engineering leaders focused on what’s actually happening in the hiring market - and where engineering and AI trends are headed.

But this isn’t just a one-off conversation.

This year, ATMG is evolving into a hands-on, community-driven group where we’ll build AI tools together, learn by doing, and collaborate on open-source projects designed to benefit the Atlanta tech community.

Panelists

• A.D. Slaton – CEO, Stillriver Solutions | Tech Advisor
• Kyle Clifford – FTS Recruitment
• Raghav Vemula – VP of Engineering, Connexure
• (Co-creator of SQL Copilot, an AI assistant for SSMS)

Moderator:

• Drew Schillinger – Enterprise Architect, Connexure

• What hiring managers are really looking for right now
• Engineering and AI trends shaping teams in 2026
