Stories of Technology, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship in the Southeast

Knoxville’s annual Endeavor Young Professional Summit motivates the area’s emerging leaders to engage in their community and take ownership of their professional growth.

The day-long event is packed with compelling keynote speakers and dynamic discussions that empower attendees to grow personally and professionally, while simultaneously investing in regional economic prosperity.

The Summit is organized and hosted by the Knoxville Chamber at Bridgewater Place.

Attendees can expect a keynote on the housing accessibility crisis in East Tennessee, and specifically in the city of Knoxville.

As Knox County advances the implementation of its comprehensive land use and transportation plan, Advance Knox, young professionals have a timely opportunity to engage with the policies and planning efforts that will define how and where our region grows.

In the session, community housing leaders will unpack how decisions around zoning, infrastructure, and community development directly affect housing availability and affordability. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to participate in these processes and help ensure that Knoxville’s growth reflects the needs of both current and future residents.

In addition to conversations about housing, young professionals will also engage with community leaders on how to get involved with civic leadership, business leadership, and building bold careers.
