Sessions & Events / FULL SCHEDULE
EVENT OVERVIEW
The 2025 Tilt-Up Convention and Expo lands in Nashville, Tennessee, bringing together the global tilt-up community for three powerful days of learning, connection, and celebration. Hosted at the Music City Center in the heart of downtown, this year’s event embraces the theme Striking Harmony, highlighting the rich possibilities that emerge when design, construction, and supply professionals engage in true cross-disciplinary exchange.
Attendees can expect a reimagined education program featuring eight highly curated, team-based sessions focused on collaborative problem-solving and innovation. Each session includes real project stories and panel discussions that dive deep into how diverse expertise leads to better buildings, smarter processes, and a stronger industry.
Beyond the classroom, the convention will feature hands-on demonstrations, architectural mock-ups, and technical exhibits showcasing the latest in tilt-up technology and methodology. This year marks the debut of the Mock-Up Medley—a new feature presenting built and unbuilt panel concepts that challenge conventional thinking and celebrate creative collaboration across disciplines.
Attendees can also participate in project tours, explore downtown Nashville, and take part in exclusive networking events—including the ever-popular TILT Expo Eve party, set this year in the iconic Country Music Hall of Fame Rotunda, and the Awards Gala, honoring excellence across the industry.
Whether you're a contractor, architect, engineer, developer, or supplier, this is your opportunity to connect with peers, challenge assumptions, and be inspired by what’s next for tilt-up. Join us in Music City for the most collaborative, energetic, and forward-thinking convention yet.
