Earlier this year, a new partnership was announced among A3C, The Gathering Spot – the buzzy members-only business and social club near Georgia Tech – and Paul Judge Media Group.

“I think there are many people who are interested in Atlanta and want to spend more time here, and there isn’t an event where we’re welcoming the world to come talk to us,” Judge said then. “A3C is connected to the culture. The up and coming artists want to be on the stage and the legends want to come back.”
