What does a lasting legacy look like in Atlanta’s technology community?

Ahead of the 2026 ATP Awards Gala, past honorees are reflecting on the ways their work has influenced others and strengthened Atlanta’s technology community.

In this spotlight, Muhsinah Morris, Ph. D., Professor & Director, Metaverse Programs and 2023 Innovation Award recipient, shares what impact she’s most proud of, not because of what she accomplished, but because of how it affected others.

This November, we’ll celebrate another group of leaders whose work and contributions are making a meaningful impact across Atlanta’s technology community.

Join us Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Buckhead Theatre for this Hall of Fame celebration.

What does a lasting legacy look like in Atlanta’s technology community?

As we look ahead to the 2026 ATP Awards Gala, we’ve invited some of our past honorees to reflect on the ideas, values, and impact that continue to shape our community.

In this spotlight, Monika Mueller, Chief Strategy Officer at Softensity and 2025 ATP of the Year Award recipient, shares what has made the greatest difference in her success: a lesson, relationship, opportunity, or experience throughout her career.

We’re excited to honor this year’s leaders who are making a meaningful impact across Atlanta’s technology community.
