Contributions of TAG Education Programs in the Technological Development of Georgia

Every March, the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) hosts the prestigious Georgia Technology Summit to bestow the Excalibur Awards, bringing together the crème de la crème of the Peach State’s forward thinkers. This is just another example of TAG education in action. Businesspeople, Fortune 500 executives, teachers, innovative professionals and academics meet and mingle at the technology event of the year. You're guaranteed to learn a lot.

There are many other examples of ways that TAG education programs contribute to technological development in Georgia.

For example, consider TAG’s innovative new website, http://www.tagthink.com. Part cyber café and part symposium, this is another place where Georgia’s innovators hang out with one another, sharing and cross-pollinating innovative ideas.

TAG provides members with the opportunity to share and spin the ideas they’ve learned, leveraging them in creative new ways. That's experiential learning at its finest.

TAG Think is virtual home to 30 TAG societies, groups of innovative individuals with common interests in issues like software development, health care, marketing and women’s emerging role as technology leaders. Joining a TAG society is a great way to catalyze your own thinking.

In Georgia, TAG is one of the best mediums for connecting IT professionals. Top IT talent with local companies share experience and guidance in such areas as resume preparation, effective networking and how to anticipate operational challenges before they happen.

The Technology Association of Georgia doesn’t grant formal certifications, it’s true. But TAG members receive a thorough technology education through membership nonetheless.
