What We Believe

DataTune Nashville, Inc. is a community-led educational organization built to grow and connect Nashville's data and AI community. We're entirely volunteer-led. Our board members aren't paid for their time. We're here because we believe in creating a place where people can learn from each other, build real relationships, and strengthen the community around us.

We want DataTune to bring together practitioners, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and partners in a way that is welcoming, authentic, and fair. Different technologies, companies, backgrounds, and perspectives are part of what makes the community valuable.

Our content and speakers are chosen based on what we believe will provide the most value to the community. Sponsorship and financial support help make DataTune possible, but they don't determine who speaks, what gets taught, or the ideas and technologies represented on our stages.

Above all, we want to earn the trust of the community we're building. That means being transparent about how we operate, treating people fairly, and keeping education, connection, and community at the center of the decisions we make.

DataTune Nashville, Inc. is a Tennessee non-profit corporation and is currently filing for 501(c)(3) designation.
