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?

In complex, engineering-led environments, formal authority weakens as it crosses teams, platforms, and incentives. Credibility—not title—determines whose voice carries.

How many leaders are actually being followed, rather than merely complied with?

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.

TechGirl is more than an initiative—it’s the purpose at the heart of the HotTopics community. Join us as we welcome our mentors to the stage, alongside those who are guiding and championing young women in tech, to discuss the next generation of talent.

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.
