Join the Sycamore Institute on May 13th for our 3rd Annual Forum. This year’s theme is Feeds, Filters, and the Future: How Information Shapes Public Life in Tennessee.

As the Sycamore Institute marks its 10-year anniversary, this year’s Annual Forum creates space to step back from our many policy debates and examine a force shaping them all: how people get information.

From personalized feeds to the loss of local news, the media environment is transforming quickly—with real consequences for public life. This year’s Forum will unpack these shifts and what they mean for how communities engage, how issues are understood, how public life functions, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead.

Join us on May 13 at Geodis Park in Nashville as we convene and support data-driven policy approaches in Tennessee.

Thank you to our generous sponsors.
