The Next Awards is one of the largest events of the year for the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, and Middle Tennessee’s premier awards event for entrepreneurial companies.
Since 2011, the awards have celebrated the growth and evolution of Nashville’s entrepreneurial landscape. We added several new award categories this year to reflect these changes, and we’re excited that our sixth annual event will be the biggest and best yet!
Join us in congratulating the 2016 Next Award finalists, who will be recognized at our finalist celebration on Tuesday, Oct. 4, and again at the Next Awards event on Thursday, Nov. 17.
