Industry Innovation Day builds on the success of the previous IPaT industry-oriented event, which we hosted for five years, the People and Technology Forum.

In the afternoon, the GVU Center invites you to experience Georgia Tech research in people-centered technology that enhances our communities and impacts how we live day-to-day at the GVU Center and Digital Media Research Showcase. More than 60 interactive projects will let you touch, control and imagine what technology will enable in the future. All activities will take place in Atlanta’s Tech Square at the eastern edge of the Georgia Tech campus.
Industry Innovation Day attendees are also invited to our Convergence Innovation Competition on Tuesday, April 11th from 6 - 7pm at IPaT.
