Dear Colleague:

Thank you for your interest and past participation in the Lake Lanier Technology Alliance (LLTA). We appreciate your ongoing commitment to furthering our area's technology community. I'm writing you today to invite you to be a part of an exciting opportunity on Tuesday, October 21, for all of us with interest in our state's technology community, the Georgia Technology Celebration.

The Celebration will be an intense day filled with keynote speakers (including Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and AT&T CEO Dave Dorman), an investor showcase, panel discussions, exhibits, networking and an evening award reception where the LLTA will be recognized. The event is being held on Tuesday, October 21, at the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta. Registration opens at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude with the awards reception at 8:00 p.m. Complete details and online registration are available at http://www.techcelebration.org.

The Board of Directors of the LLTA would like to strongly encourage you to participate in this event, as we believe is critical for the Lake Lanier area to have a strong representation to show we're serious about technology. Kevin York, Charter Communications, will be representing the LLTA. The Greater Hall Chamber has committed to sending at least one representative. And my company, Red Clay Interactive, has already registered two people. It would be nice to have at least 20 attendees from our area to show our support to our industry.

If you decide to attend, please reply to this email and let us know where we can coordinate and possibly carpool on the day of the event. Or, you can also let us know you are attending by contacting me at (770) 297-2431 or Shelley Davis at the Chamber at (770) 532-6206. Thank you again, for your support of the LLTA and the technology community. I look forward to seeing you at the Georgia Technology Celebration (www.techcelebration.org) on the 21st.

Warmest regards,

Lance Compton, 2003 Chair
Lake Lanier Technology Alliance
