Avant South is a dynamic event series produced as part of the Atlanta Collegiate Entreprenurial Syndicate (ACES) — a city-backed initiative uniting Emory University, Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Clark Atlanta University, and the City of Atlanta's Office of Technology and Innovation.

Our mission is to highlight the bold ideas, breakthrough technologies, and visionary leaders driving innovation in Atlanta. By creating space for connection, conversation, and collaboration, Avant South is helping position Atlanta as a top 5 global tech hub.

From campus labs to corporate boardrooms, we showcase the momentum happening across the region — and invite you to be part of what’s next.
