ATLANTA—“You should do this more often,” was the comment most heard at the first TechJournal South Deck Party in Atlanta, which drew 600 networkers to the square across from the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center. TJS teamed with ATDC and the Technology Association of Georgia to put on the event.

The event was held under a tent outdoors on a chilly but fine fall night.

“It was a great turnout for the first Atlanta Deck Party and it was great to see the Atlanta tech community come together for a night of relaxed networking,” says Scott Hedrick, TJS Advertising Director.

TJS Deck Parties in the Research Triangle of North Carolina set the standard for well-attended and successful networking events there. The most recent RTP event drew a crowd in Durham. The events provide free food and beverages, an array of sponsor tables, and a very effective setting for networking.

The crowd remained strong in Atlanta until the end.
