2026 ThinkTennessee Policy Forum

A Shared Vision for Tennessee’s Future

When: Wednesday, September 9, 2026  |  8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. CT

Where: Music City Center (Davidson Ballroom), 201 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203

ThinkTennessee‘s statewide policy forum will bring together leaders, experts, and community members to engage in meaningful dialogue around some of the most pressing issues facing Tennesseans today: workforce development, housing, energy, and transportation.

Following last year’s sold-out inaugural event, we’re bringing together state and local elected officials, policy experts, and business and nonprofit partners for another day of meaningful conversation on the issues shaping Tennessee’s future.

This year’s theme, A Shared Vision for Tennessee’s Future, will foster productive dialogue across perspectives – focused on collaboration and practical solutions.

Register now, and stay tuned for more details!
