The event, running from September 1 through September 17, 2026, serves as a primary fundraiser for the organization’s startup incubator and regional innovation programs. Participants bid on individual sessions with executives from sectors ranging from fintech and healthcare to manufacturing. According to Karen Cashion, President and CEO of Tech North Atlanta, the initiative is designed to foster high-level networking and mentorship that might otherwise remain inaccessible to emerging talent.

The roster of participating executives includes senior leadership from firms such as Equifax, GE Aerospace, Global Payments, and Kimberly-Clark. Winning bidders coordinate the logistics for these meetings, which typically take place over a meal or a similar professional setting. The proceeds go directly toward the nonprofit’s mission of strengthening the innovation ecosystem across the north metro region.
