The NTC is bringing groups of students and teachers to local businesses & college campuses to learn more about careers and education in the field of technology. Over the past year, we’ve sent more than 400 students out into the industry. 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 have four different groups looking to tour businesses between the months of June – July. Sign up to host students at your offices!

Stop by Tech Hill Commons to learn more about Lipscomb University’s graduate degree programs & Tennessee Entertainment Commission’s new CreateTN campaign.

In 2016 Sword & Shield Enterprise Security envisioned bringing a world-class conference to the East Coast that brings business executives and IT professionals together to work through today’s cybersecurity challenges. This vision became a reality with EDGE2016 through the assistance of a community of sponsors, partners, and service providers. EDGE was created to not only educate but encourage open discussions on the issues that are facing every business and industry in order to help foster a community of creative problem solvers.

EDGE2017 is coming up Oct 17th – 18th. From executives and administrators to engineers, EDGE2017 will inform and foster learning of technology professionals representing small to enterprise-level organizations from all industries.
