Nooga in the morning, Nash at night
Saturday daytime is all about Chattanooga, the Scenic City – a manufacturing magnet and tech hub home to the fastest internet service in the Western Hemisphere and the only city to be awarded Outdoor Magazine’s “Best Town Ever” title twice! Explore the latest in mobility tech and quantum computing, and get to know some exciting local startups.
Then, things heat up as the sun goes down and Nashville takes the stage, with a preview of the Titans’ new state-of-the-art stadium, the latest cutting-edge tech from Vanderbilt, the return of crowd-favorite Hip Hop Karaoke, and late-night line dancing celebrating Dolly Parton’s recent 80th birthday!
