Nashville

Nashville Entrepreneur Center, Launch Tennessee, and Vanderbilt University are partnering with SeedAI to present AI Across America: Nashville — a single-day convening on Monday, May 18th at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, focused on Tennessee's opportunity to lead in the next era of AI.

The event will bring together leaders from academia, state government, industry, and the startup community for an honest, substantive conversation about what it actually takes to build a strong state AI ecosystem. Topics will include:

• Tennessee's AI Action Plan and six months of implementation progress

• Healthcare AI deployment in America's healthcare capital

• The founders and investors shaping the state's AI startup ecosystem

• State-federal coordination on workforce and R&D investment

• The compute, data, and talent infrastructure Tennessee needs to compete
