Real Tech. Real Talk. Real Connections.
Chattanooga's community-driven tech conference. Two days of learning, leadership, and connection — built by and for the people shaping the future of tech in our region.
For over a decade, Scenic City Summit has brought together the people who build, teach, lead, and inspire the future of tech across the Southeast — right here where the river bends and the mountains rise.
Deep, practical sessions across engineering, cloud, data, AI, and the web — from people who ship in production every day.
Leadership, careers, and the human side of tech. Honest conversations you won't find in a vendor keynote.
A welcoming, community-run conference where you'll meet the engineers, founders, and friends shaping our region.
Built by volunteers, powered by local sponsors, and proudly hosted in the Scenic City we call home.

Spend Thursday and Friday hopping between breakout tracks and keynotes — all at the UTC University Center. Lunch and the famous hallway track included both days.
