GDG Atlanta

Shaping the Future of Tech in the Silicon of the South

Welcome to the Google Developer Group (GDG) Atlanta, the premier community hub for technology enthusiasts, career-switchers, students, and professional builders in the Southeast. As the "Silicon of the South," Atlanta is a city defined by its vibrant intersection of culture and innovation, and we are the heartbeat of that transformation.

Whether you are writing your first line of code or architecting enterprise-grade AI solutions, GDG Atlanta is your home for growth.

Everyone is a Builder

We believe that technology is not a gatekept industry; it is a shared craft. Our community is a diverse collective of builders, career-switchers, veterans, and students who believe that innovation thrives when we collaborate. 

At GDG Atlanta, we dismantle the barrier of "imposter syndrome" by ensuring that every member—from the high school student learning their first app to the senior engineer deploying to the cloud—feels equipped, empowered, and essential.Our Mission: Connect, Learn, and Grow.

GDG Atlanta is built on three core pillars that drive our community-led initiatives:

• Connect: We bridge the gap between local tech talent and the global Google developer ecosystem. Through our networking mixers, city-wide panels, and industry partnerships, we create spaces where ideas turn into professional opportunities.

• Learn: We host hands-on, structured learning experiences. From "Build with AI" workshops—focusing on Gemini, Vertex AI, and agentic workflows—to deep-dive coding sessions in Android, Cloud, and Flutter, we provide the curriculum that turns theory into practice.

• Grow: We are a launchpad for your career journey. Our events are designed to prepare you for the real world, offering access to Google-certified study groups, resume reviews, and direct connections with industry leaders and recruiters

Atlanta is the Silicon of the South, a city where our rich history of creativity meets a new renaissance of digital engineering. GDG Atlanta isn't just a place to meet; it’s an incubator for the city's next tech wave. We leverage the unique energy of Atlanta—from Midtown to the Old Fourth Ward—to host events that are as much about human connection as they are about technical proficiency. When you join GDG Atlanta, you aren't just attending an event; you are participating in the launchpad for Atlanta's future.Join the Movement
