About The Adapture Thinker’s Series
Inspired by Atlanta’s thriving tech community, Adapture created the Thinker’s Series in 2022 as a way to bring IT thought leaders back together post pandemic, but it’s evolved into one of the premier IT networking and educational events in Atlanta. By partnering with leading technologies like Cloudflare, NetApp, Smartsheet, and others, we’re able to offer a world class educational and networking experience at some of the city’s best lunch spots.
Each event hosts 20–40 guests, all IT professionals, for a fine dining experience and fireside chat style conversation with a Featured Thinker. Our Featured Thinkers are among the best and brightest technologists, business strategists and IT philosophers in the industry. Our Thinker’s Series offers a regular opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussion and challenge our guests to think forward.
