The Greater Nashville IT Summit is a one day conference designed to provide high-quality, forward-looking content to IT practitioners at all levels, as well as provide opportunities for networking and peer-to-peer learning. This year’s conference theme will be “Leading into the World That Is Becoming,” with keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions focused on how companies, individuals, and the greater Nashville tech community can and will excel in a post-COVID 19 world.

The Greater Nashville IT Summit is going virtual! In the interest of the health and safety of our attendees and sponsors, the 2020 Greater Nashville IT Summit will be delivered as a fully virtual event.

We’re bringing a dozen presentations right to you, with the same high-quality content you would expect at an IT Summit.
