As Peachtree Corners’ reputation as a smart tech

As Peachtree Corners’ reputation as a smart technology hub grows, so does the need for staff trained in those fields. One of the most in-demand career titles is Web Developer. It seems that tech companies can’t hire them fast enough.

To help facilitate the fulfillment of that need, @peachtreecornersga has partnered with @georgiatech to offer a professional certification program that allows successful candidates to be job-ready in just a few months.

Posted @withrepost • @peachtreecornersga Spend the Day in Peachtree Corners – Saturday, September 24

Start the day at 8:00am with the City’s first Electric Vehicle Car Show, stay for lunch and play on the new Town Center Playground, and come back to enjoy the Summer Concert Series with Vertical Horizon featuring All the Locals beginning at 7:00pm.

ELECTRIFY PEACHTREE CORNERS EV CAR SHOW - 8 AM TO 11 AM IN THE CMX CINEBISTRO PARKING LOT.

Celebrate National Drive Electric Week with Electrify PTC! Families, friends, and neighbors are invited to our first-ever electrified car show, hosted by the City of Peachtree Corners in partnership with Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, Qwik Charge, Ford, Jim Ellis, Georgia Power, T-Mobile, Clean Cities, and more.

Guests will experience electric mobility firsthand and learn about the city’s continued commitment to the sustainability of the #SiliconOrchard through innovative and smart technologies, such as Peachtree Corners having the largest charging hub in Metro Atlanta. Walk the parking lot to see the many electrified vehicles on display, or visit our local vendors to win prizes, eat great food and enjoy delicious drinks.

Free breakfast will be provided by Flavor on the Fork food truck while supplies last.

SUMMER CONCERT SERIES FEATURING VERTICAL HORIZON W/ ALL THE LOCALS - MUSIC BEGINS AT 7:00 PM ON THE TOWN GREEN

In 1999 Vertical Horizon signed with RCA and experienced meteoric success with Everything You Want selling over two million copies.

The title song captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and went on to become the most played single of 2000. Today’s Vertical Horizon shares the practices of most long-enduring acts: different creative personnel have entered and exited, adding to the ever-expanding sonic tapestry.

Experienced bands also run the gamut where it comes to variety, and Vertical Horizon is no exception here. Genres, styles, and sounds are the band’s “tools of the trade,” but they’re used with such variety—such intricacy—that it’s a challenge to “classify” the band’s sound.

Atlanta-based All The Locals will kick the evening off at 7 PM!

When most people think of spending the night in a state park, the first thing that comes to mind is a tent and hotdogs on the fire. While there are many great spots for camping, Georgia State Parks also have more unique and cozy options as well. From renovated cabins overlooking a lake, atop a mountain or with a coastal breeze, Georgia’s State Parks are the perfect spot to plan your next vacation. Find a plethora of options on our website.
