The Nashville Technology Council is excited to announce Tech Hill Commons: a public gathering place for Nashville’s diverse community of tech leaders, business builders, user groups, students and tech educators. Tech Hill Commons also houses the NTC’s new offices. Come by for a visit to see our new space! Grand Opening in Early 2017. If you or your organization would like to support Tech Hill Commons, please contact Erin Miller.

The NTC is bringing students & teachers to your workplace! We’re looking for companies who want to invest in the students who will become tomorrow’s technology talent for Middle Tennessee, as well as their teachers so they can gain a better understanding of the content they are teaching and how it relates back to the industry.

We Build Tech Code Camps allow students to learn the basics of programming while immersing students in an engaging, real-world environment in which they are challenged to create with code. We are offering seventeen camps in twelve different subjects this year!

We need your help! We’re looking for companies interested in helping us fulfill scholarships so we can send every student to camp. Contact Erin Whitaker to learn more about this opportunity.

Ascension Care Management (formerly MissionPoint Health), a population health company that is part of Ascension, grew from managing one population in one market to managing the needs of more than 250,000 members across multiple populations and almost 10,000 providers in seven states in just four years. As it transformed and ran into common healthcare challenges – sorting through data, identifying clinical priorities, selecting the best paths forward – Ascension Care Management needed a new way to prioritize and organize its work. Dr. Dinger turned outside healthcare for a solution and found Agile. Join us March 16 to learn how Ascension Care Management adapted the engine driving work at Facebook, SalesForce and Google to transform their population health work.
