At that time when we created the conference, the conference was to focus all on tech and culture coming to together. Hence, we then we said, OK, how do we go bigger? And for 2023 we added a music festival on which is headlined by Kaytranada.” Render is a conference that travels all over the United States to bring opportunities to lovers of technology.

When speaking to RenderATL founder Justin, he explained a little about what makes this festival unique by stating,” I believe the thing that makes this festival unique compared to everybody else is that we have a concentrated group of technology and enthusiasts such as engineers or designers coming together to recruit their job pool at the conference. We even have our corporate partners such as people at like a Delta, Amazon, or anywhere in between coming together for a music concert with their employees or too. I don't know of a lot of other conferences that tell their employees, hey, you're trying to come to a concert or tonight, I'll pay for it.” music and technology lovers were able to come together and enjoy a time of fellowship with host such as Anisa Brenee, Cyrus Harbin, and Brianna Harmoh.
