East Bank: Partnerships That Shape Our City

Building on our previous session exploring the rise of the mega-project, this follow-up dives deeper into how those projects are actually delivered—and what it takes to be part of them. As Nashville enters a new era of transformative development, projects like the East Bank and the newly rezoned Wasioto Bend are redefining not just the city’s skyline, but how project teams are formed, evaluated, and succeed.

This session explores the full lifecycle of teaming in today’s AEC industry, from early collaboration and pursuit strategies to real-world delivery and long-term outcomes. We’ll examine what makes teams credible, where alignment breaks down, and how public process and community expectations are reshaping traditional roles.

Looking ahead, the conversation will focus on what it takes to be part of Nashville’s next wave of major projects—offering practical insights on building teams that not only compete, but collaborate to deliver lasting impact.
