SUMMARY:Blount Small Business Peer Group
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next Small Business Peer-to-Peer Group meeting on Wednesday\, April 15th at 8:30 a.m. at REO Cheesewagon (429 W. Broadway Ave\, Maryville\, TN). This group is designed for small business owners and operators to connect in a confidential\, supportive environment. It is not a referral or sales group—our focus is on sharing knowledge\, resources\, and real-world experiences related to running a business. Participants will be divided into small groups to discuss key topics such as: Human Resources Marketing Strategies Customer Acquisition Growth Challenges Strategic Planning Customer Service Financial Management Come ready to engage\, learn\, and support fellow business leaders.We look forward to another productive and engaging discussion. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. \nREO Cheesewagon\n429 W. Broadway Ave\nMaryville\, TN 37801 United States \n\n\n\nEvent Contact\nBrenda Farner\n(865) 273-1202\nSend Email\nWednesday\, April 15\, 2026 (8:30 AM – 10:00 AM) (EDT)

SUMMARY:Network & Hiring Event: Agentic AI and Quantum Careers in Knoxville
DESCRIPTION:Join CGI for an informal networking and hiring event at Fred’s Around the Corner\, focused on the next wave of mission-ready technology: advanced agentic AI\, quantum-ready systems\, and the real-world workloads where they matter most. Meet CGI leaders and technologists\, learn about our work in Knoxville\, and explore opportunities to build\, ship\, and scale solutions that move beyond pilots into production.\nHeavy hors d’oeuvres and drink tickets will be provided. To confirm your attendance\, please complete the RSVP form. \n5:00 – 5:30 p.m. — Arrival\, appetizers\, and networking\n5:30 – 6:00 p.m. — Welcome + “What we’re building in Knoxville” (CGI overview)\n6:00 – 6:45 p.m. — Hiring spotlight: roles\, teams\, and mission work (Agentic AI + Quantum)\n6:45 – 7:30 p.m. — Q&A\, meet-the-team networking\, and next steps \nAbout the event\nAI is rapidly becoming mission-critical in regulated\, high-stakes environments. At the same time\, the next advantage is emerging at the intersection of AI and quantum computing—especially for optimization\, planning\, and resource allocation at scale. Turning that promise into deployable capability takes more than tools: it requires engineering rigor\, security-minded delivery\, and builders who can operate in real mission contexts. \nThis event is for people who want to do hands-on work—designing\, building\, integrating\, and operating modern AI systems (and preparing for quantum-ready approaches) in a production environment. \nWho should attend\n\nFull-stack engineers\, platform engineers\, and cloud engineers\nAI/ML engineers\, applied scientists\, and data engineers\nMLOps/AIOps\, DevSecOps\, and automation/orchestration practitioners\nSystems thinkers who like solving hard problems end-to-end—from prototype to production\nStudents\, early-career technologists\, and experienced hires interested in Knoxville’s innovation ecosystem\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\nWhat CGI does in Knoxville and how our teams deliver real outcomes\nHow we’re advancing agentic AI orchestration across modernization\, greenfield development\, and operations\nWhere quantum-ready thinking fits today (and what “practical” looks like)\nHow to engage: open roles\, interview process\, and ways to stand out\n\nHiring note\nSome roles may require U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance (role-dependent). Bring questions—and if you have a portfolio\, GitHub\, or project demos\, feel free to share.
