Join us on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 PM at the Nashville Entrepreneurship Center for an inspiring evening celebrating innovation, connection, and community impact at the 4th Annual Visionary Banquet: STEM Awards Mixer.

This year, we refreshed the experience of our signature fundraising event to focus on recognizing excellence, fostering meaningful connections, and giving back to the community we serve.

• 🤝 Networking with students, professionals, and STEM advocates
   
• 💬 Short moderated panel on leadership, innovation, and equity in STEM
   
• 🏆 Awards honoring three outstanding STEM contributors
   
• 🦃 Community give-back: Bring canned foods or turkeys to support the South Nashville Turkey Dinner & Drive scheduled on Saturday, November 22, 2025
   

Our goal is to make this celebration open and inclusive to everyone:

• Free Ticket – Join the celebration and connect with our STEM community.
   
• Pay It Forward Ticket ($40) – Help cover event costs and sponsor another attendee’s experience while supporting our ongoing STEM initiatives.
   
• Donation Option – Give what you can to sustain programs that expand access and opportunity in STEM education.
   

In times of change — from economic shifts to evolving educational needs — we’ve adapted our signature banquet to focus on what matters most: community, connection, and collective impact. This new format makes the evening more accessible while still honoring those driving progress in STEM.

Date: Wednesday, November 20, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: Nashville Entrepreneurship Center

Join us for an evening of celebration, collaboration, and community giving — as we continue to shape a future where everyone has access to opportunity in STEM.
