Summary
A spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development told county mayors in Murfreesboro that GovCon in November is largely sold out, called 2025 a strong year for business recruitment and said the department will make announcements soon.
A staff member, a spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, told attendees at the annual county mayors conference in Murfreesboro that GovCon — the department's government contracting conference scheduled for November at the Embassy Suites — is "basically sold out" and that the department will make announcements "soon."
The remarks came during a brief update the spokesperson gave to county mayors from across Tennessee. The official said the state has a "strong relationship with all mayors in all 95 counties" and credited that cooperation, along with state leadership, for helping make 2025 a successful year for economic development.
"There's a few spots left, but it's sold out because it's gonna be a great event," the spokesperson said, referring to GovCon at the Embassy Suites. The official also told the audience to "buckle up because things are starting to happen here in Tennessee," and characterized 2025 as "a great year for us."
The spokesperson did not provide details about the forthcoming announcements, including timing or subject matter. No formal actions, votes or policy decisions were recorded during the remarks.
