Georgia's Emerging-Tech Community
// A statewide nonprofit for the people building Georgia's technology economy.
FutureTech Georgia (FTGA) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit business league founded in 2021, serving more than 500 members across Georgia's 159 counties. FTGA convenes the people building Georgia's technology economy — founders, engineers, investors, and policy voices — around the technologies remaking finance and work: artificial intelligence, blockchain, payments, tokenization, and digital identity.
The organization is deliberately statewide and low-barrier. A free membership tier accounts for the majority of FTGA's members, reflecting a founding belief that removing cost barriers is what actually drives participation in emerging-technology adoption across the state.
FutureTech Forum
Keynote-and-panel events on AI, blockchain, and the future of employment. The first Forum of 2026, "AI, Blockchain, and Employment," was held January 30, 2026 at Ride Lounge in Peachtree Corners with two keynotes and two expert panels.
NET.WORK
Networking gatherings built on a simple premise — your network is your net worth — where blockchain, AI, and emerging-technology professionals connect with Georgia's business leaders and entrepreneurs.
Field Dispatches
Between gatherings, FTGA leadership publishes ongoing analysis on payments infrastructure, tokenization, on-chain banking, stablecoins, AI agents, and digital identity. Read the latest →
FTGA is led by Tony Erwin (President & Founder), Peter Saddington (Vice President & Founder), and Deanna Hoffmann (Treasurer). Tony Erwin serves as Georgia's representative to the U.S. Blockchain Coalition and holds a Global Blockchain Business Council ambassadorship for a third consecutive year.
