As a benefit to all IT practitioners who are members of the NTC, we invite you to join us at the Nashville IT Symposium at a steeply discounted registration rate of $75/person. This is a $125 savings off the normal rate. Click HERE to register at the discounted rate.

This is a great event that provides an opportunity for you and your management teams to network and build relationships with other regional companies.

The IT Symposium is a by invitation only event and pre registration is required. This is performed in an effort to ensure only qualified IT professionals attend the Symposium.

The Nashville Analytics Summit alternates hands-on workshops and speaker presentations, presented by qualified speakers from various industries and backgrounds. This year, we’re asking speakers to focus on making data matter.

• How does your organization use data?
• How does the use of data & analytics impact your business?
• How do you capture, access & analyze your data?

The Nashville Analytics Summit was created in 2013 by Nashville Technology Council members. With 488% growth since inception, the Summit continues to expand as one of Nashville’s largest, locally grown tech events in the region. It focuses on fundamental issues in organizations today: how to effectively leverage big data and analytics. The Summit will be hosted August 20-21 at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Nashville. 

Many of the core skills, attitudes, behaviors and ethics of leadership are best learnt by modelling rather than in a formal classroom. The NTC Veteran’s Mentorship Program allows Veterans to model good leadership and offer practical guidance to their future leaders. Through small group mentorship, this program seeks to provide Veterans with an opportunity for valuable peer-to-peer learning, professional development, and meaningful connections within the Middle Tennessee tech community.

We are currently accepting applications to participate in our upcoming mentor program. Meet our mentors and learn more about joining the program.

– Deploying strategic outsourcing
– Fundraising and beyond
