One of the first tech events I attended in Atlanta was back in July when GigaOM came to town. Well, it looks like that first impression was a good one becasue I just got an email letting me know that they're coming back -- next week.

I've cut and pasted info below.

GigaOM Research is excited to be coming back to Atlanta on Oct. 10th at The Biltmore, executives from leading companies will join entrepreneurs to discuss ways in which enterprises can capitalize on emerging technologies by engaging with and even emulating startups.

Registration will start at 5:30pm with the panel discussions starting at 6pm. Space is limited, so please RSVP to ensure your free ticket: http://atlantameetupevent.eventbrite.com/
