About GNTC’s Peer Groups

The Greater Nashville Technology Council provides engaging interest and career-specific events through a number of peer-to-peer learning communities called “Peer Groups.” The GNTC Peer Groups are established and led by members of the tech community who are passionate about planning, creating, and executing a diverse array of content and networking opportunities geared towards connecting others in their shared area of focus. Each Peer Group has a Leadership Committee that helps steer the frequency of regular programming and events over the calendar year. Becoming involved in a GNTC Peer Group is a great way to share your experience, learn new skills, and build your professional network by learning from local experts in your field.
