Join the Sycamore Institute on May 8th for our 2nd Annual Forum. This year’s theme is Together, Tennessee: Sharing a Future When We Disagree.

This year’s luncheon will feature a timely and urgent conversation on the keys to living—and thriving—in a world where friends, neighbors, and strangers profoundly disagree. In addition to being in a room full of Tennessee’s movers and shakers, native Tennesseans Samar Ali, Matt Marshall, and Marianne Wanamaker will explore how productive disagreement helps us build a shared future together.

Join us on May 8 at City Winery in Nashville as we convene and support data-driven policy approaches in Tennessee.

Register by March 28 to take advantage of early bird rates before prices increase.
