Join our keynote, Sean Henry, CEO and 'PREDSident' of the Nashville Predators, as he explores what it takes to build organisations that people believe in.

Sean has spent his career building high-performing organisations, from helping the Tampa Bay Lightning win their first Stanley Cup to transforming the Nashville Predators and Bridgestone Arena into one of the world's leading sports and entertainment destinations.

His leadership philosophy is simple: do the right thing, put people first and never stop learning. In this keynote, Sean shares a masterclass in leadership, resilience and building winning teams—lessons that reach far beyond the world of sport.

What if change isn’t something to manage, but something we’ve failed to design for?

As change becomes a permanent operating condition, advantage shifts to organisations built to adapt continuously—without the drama, heroics, or narrative whiplash we still seem to rely on. So what would it mean to design an organisation where change no longer feels exceptional?

Nashville has the talent, the ideas, and the energy—but how do we turn it into a thriving, world-class tech ecosystem?

During this collaborative session, we ask our C-suite community for their ideas, challenges and creative thinking to engage on how we connect, unite, develop, and promote this incredible city to attract global innovators, empower entrepreneurs, and lead the nation in technology-driven growth.

Join us at The Listening Room for a curated executive session designed to reflect on the previous day’s discussions and turn insight into action. This intimate forum gives C-suite leaders the opportunity to review key takeaways, revisit critical themes, and dive deeper into the ideas that matter most—free from the noise of the main stage.

Prepare for an unforgettable evening as we bring award-winning singer-songwriter Rachel Thibodeau to the stage! Renowned for her soaring vocals and world-class songcraft, having penned hits for country music royalty like Tim McGraw, Rachel delivers a captivating mix of star power, soulful melodies, and incredible behind-the-song storytelling.

Grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for a mesmerising live performance you’ll be talking about long after the final bow!
