About the Forum

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Forum on Growth and Regional Challenges on March 20, 2026. Registration will open in January 2026, and more information will be coming soon!

The middle Tennessee region is one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. With this growth comes both exciting opportunities and challenging issues for the regional community, raising questions about the region and its future.

This forum addresses these developments by bringing the community together to hear from experts and government leaders on the impacts and details of our region’s growth.

Engaging discussions and relevant keynotes will provide valuable insights on addressing growth from a regional, state, and national perspective.

Don’t miss this chance to be a part of our region’s future.
