Events > Tilt-Up Convention and Expo 2025 - Nashville

After celebrating the 25th iteration of the Tilt-Up Convention and Expo, we’re bringing fresh ideas to the table for the 2025 event at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Striking Harmony, this year’s theme, emphasizes the importance of cross-disciplinary learning and exchange. Just as Nashville thrives on the fusion of musical influences, the tilt-up industry thrives on the exchange of ideas across the design, construction, and supply communities. This event will deepen our understanding of each discipline’s unique strengths, helping us define true collaboration and better exploit these connections for more impactful results.
