Who says there is only one first? While 2026 is the third annual symposium, the Office of Innovative Technologies is excited to extend an invitation to all higher education institutions across the state of Tennessee. 

This three-day symposium will focus on our everyday IT challenges, shared interests, honed skills, and newfound passions.

This symposium aims to foster innovative IT solutions and promote opportunities for interaction, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among Tennessee higher education IT professionals. The event will include keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with peers, industry experts, and technology companies involved in higher education.

If you are driven and passionate about applying technology in the higher educational setting, this symposium is for you! We hope you will add this conference to your list of professional development opportunities for 2026 and join the hundreds of professionals expected to attend.
