ProgramsBuilt to bring the right people together, again and again
Bonne Fire's programs are designed to lower the barriers to connection, learning, and collaboration across Atlanta's health innovation community — regardless of where you are in your career or what part of the ecosystem you work in.
Community Gatherings
Monthly happy hours, coffee chats, webinars, and welcome events that bring the full Bonne Fire community together.
No agenda, no pitch decks — just consistent opportunities for people across the ecosystem to be in the same room. 18 events last year, with 96 people attending three or more. At some point that stops being networking and starts being community.
The Spark
A speaker series featuring founders, clinicians, researchers, and policy leaders doing meaningful work in health innovation.
Spark sessions make knowledge that's usually siloed inside one organization or sector available to the whole community — speakers share what they've learned, and what they're still figuring out. Open to anyone in the Bonne Fire community.
Mentorship
Students, early-career professionals, and anyone new to health innovation come to Bonne Fire to learn from people doing the work. We create consistent, low-friction opportunities for those connections to happen — through events, conversations, and shared programming. A more structured mentorship program is part of our roadmap.
A community where mentorship happens naturally — because we put the right people in the same room.
Volunteering
Partnering with local organizations to put the Bonne Fire community's skills and energy to work in Atlanta.
Health innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum — it's connected to the broader Atlanta community. We organize volunteer opportunities with local organizations doing work that matters, giving our community a chance to give back together.
Hackathons
Occasional builds where technologists, clinicians, and researchers tackle real health innovation problems together.
From time to time, Bonne Fire brings the community together for focused, hands-on sessions where ideas turn into prototypes. These events pair technical skill with clinical and policy context — the kind of cross-sector collaboration that's hard to find anywhere else. Announced as they're scheduled.
