Keep Knoxville Beautiful (KKB) is hosting its 7th Annual Summit this Friday, Jan. 30, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S Gay St. Remaining tickets for the event can be purchased by visiting KKB’s website.
This year, KKB is exploring what it means to be “Rooted in Place.” For our community, this theme speaks to the heart of the city’s identity. It’s about deepening our connection to our unique landscapes, like our beloved riverfront, and intentionally shaping our “third spaces” where we gather beyond work and home. It’s about creating a city that isn’t just built but nurtured. A place where every park, square, and greenway strengthens our community roots and reflects our shared sense of belonging.
Here are some of the amazing speakers for the event:
* Memphis Rivers Parks Partnership – Carol Coletta
* The Community Collaborative – East Tennessee Community Design Center
* Thrive Regional Partnership – Panel of speakers
* YES Knoxville – Dustin Durham
* The Happy Urbanist – Jon Jon Wesolowski
* Office of Neighborhood Empowerment – Hayley Howard
KKB would love for you to be part of this conversation. Gather your friends, colleagues, and neighbors, and join KKB for a day of learning, connection, and celebration. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dream big for the future of Knoxville.
