ThinkTennessee's statewide policy forum will bring together leaders, experts, and community members to engage in meaningful dialogue around some of the most pressing issues facing Tennesseans today.
Following last year’s sold-out inaugural event, we’re bringing together state and local elected officials, policy experts, and business and nonprofit partners for another day of meaningful conversation on the issues shaping Tennessee’s future.
This year’s theme, A Shared Vision for Tennessee’s Future, will foster productive dialogue across perspectives – focused on collaboration and practical solutions.
The event schedule can be found below - stay tuned for speaker and panel details coming soon!
