ABOUT THE CONFERENCE


Join us in Nashville, TN, as we continue the work to transform Career Ecosystems and expand on...
Our North Star: "Every College student receives the career learning they need to succeed."
From honky-tonk stages to tree-lined boulevards, from Southern soul to a skyline shaped by decades of musical legends, Nashville offers a rich history, a vibrant arts and culinary scene, and a reputation as one of the most electric destinations in the US, living up to its nickname, the "Music City." Nestled in the heart of Tennessee along the Cumberland River, Nashville does not disappoint!
Prepare to be inspired by the rhythm of live music on every corner, the talents of world-class performers, and the indulgence of refined Southern hospitality at boutique hotels, just steps from Broadway and walking distance to outstanding local restaurants, rooftop bars, and one-of-a-kind shops.
