Launch Tennessee's 3686 Conference
2026-09-14 - 2026-09-16
This September in Tennessee, go bigger.
Next starts now. We always say 3686 is the best way to get to know Tennessee startups—the leading-edge innovators, bold thinkers, and fearless pioneers shaping the future frontier across the Volunteer State. 3686 is Tennessee’s flagship entrepreneur conference: named for Nashville’s geographic coordinates, rooted in Music City, and a leading destination for the Southeast’s innovation ecosystem. It’s built for breakthroughs, where ideas gain traction and connections spark the momentum to power the year ahead.

What to Expect
For over a decade, 3686 has brought together leading voices and fresh perspectives to explore the ideas, trends, and challenges shaping what’s next—paired with high-impact networking that puts founders and innovators face-to-face with investors from across the country.
Now in 2026, we’re going even bigger—expanding the week’s lineup and introducing new can’t-miss events, from a tech and startup job fair connecting the state’s top talent with opportunities at dynamic companies and corporate powerhouses, to Tennessee Innovation Night with the Nashville Sounds as they face off against the Memphis Redbirds. Plus, Startup Homecoming, an evening bash and unforgettable 3686 celebration bursting with capital, corsages, and cover bands.
