The movement returns.
Be a part of it.

AUGUST 25 — 27, 2026 | NASHVILLE, TN

MAKE SHIP HAPPEN

Join the movement

Prodacity isn’t just an annual symposium, it’s an action-driven movement. We’re building a community of innovators and change agents dedicated to delivering software users love, even in the most challenging production environments.

  • Exclusive Events – Year-round in-person and virtual gatherings where bold ideas turn into real-world solutions for the toughest challenges in GovTech, culminating with our annual symposium.
  • A Connected Network – Engage in an active Slack community where members share insights, challenge the status quo, and connect with mentors, partners, and collaborators to drive meaningful change.
  • A Culture of Action – Be part of a collective that challenges bureaucracy, removes barriers, and implements practical strategies to accelerate mission-driven software delivery in government.

Transformation doesn’t happen alone. The biggest breakthroughs come when we lean on each other, challenge perspectives, and take bold action. Let’s keep the momentum going.

I've learned more in 1.5 days than 2 weeks with other research efforts.

The venue location, the food, the speakers, the vibe. I have been to over 10 conferences this past year and this was by far the most relevant and intimate.
The networking and sessions were outstanding.
There was zero theater and everything presented was applicable to our current organizational climate.
Each session was surprisingly impactful and made me eager to employ the knowledge learned at my home unit. I wish I brought more members out to this conference to partake.

Prodacity is returning to Nashville!

Why “Music City,” you ask? The best way to jumpstart change is to change our environment. Nashville, a central location for our nationwide attendees, provides an opportunity to step outside our traditional environments and have a blank slate for change. We find inspiration not only in Nashville’s expanding and boundary-pushing tech landscape, but also in the historical reputation as a haven for risk-takers and dreamers who envision a better tomorrow.

The Venue: Category 10

Boasting downtown Nashville’s newest and most versatile setting, Category 10 is just a stone’s throw from the iconic Broadway and offers the ultimate setting for an unforgettable Prodacity experience. Formerly Wildhorse Saloon, there is no other venue like this newly remodeled, 67,000-square-foot multi-level complex - it is THE place to be.
