- From Bystander to Leader: How to present your ideas and get co-workers and management to buy-in

This year's Community Night brings all communities together for the first ever NEON SILENT DISCO! A silent disco, also known as a silent rave, headphone party, or silent party, is a dance party where people listen to music through wireless headphones instead of speakers. We'll have three DJs that are broadcast to the headphones on different channels. You can then choose their preferred channel by adjusting the settings on their headphones. Prepare to have a GLOWING good time!
Night Moves | Sunday, July 14 & Monday, July 15 - 10:30 p.m. til you can't play anymore
Are you ready to use your brain for fun? We've got the Night Moves!
Poker | Cheekwood D
The stakes are a high at the evening poker tournament. Come wager at a game of chance, or is it skill?
Werewolf | Cheekwood E
Werewolf has become a fun part of ODTUG Kscope's annual networking and connecting experience. This year we'll be hosting two nights of Werewolf. If you've never played this interactive party game of deduction and deceit, it's easy to learn. The best way to catch on is to show up and play!
Many attendees agree that playing Werewolf (even in lieu of sleep) is the most fun they have at ODTUG Kscope. Make sure you arrive at 10:30 p.m. Sunday night for the first game. All you need to bring is yourself! Whether you're looking for fun, connections, a break, or for no discernible reason at all. Just be sure to join us!
During 9:50 AM and 3:10 PM Networking Breaks

This year, ODTUG has partnered with Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee for our community service project. Based in Nashville, TN, BGCMT is creating a new and brighter future for thousands of young people. BGCMT is a comprehensive youth service organization operating eleven Club locations in Davidson and Williamson counties. They help young people ages 5-18 to reach their full potential.
With the conference being much closer to the beginning of the school year, ODTUG Kscope attendees will be assembling school supply packets to ensure that the most vulnerable children in Nashville have the tools they need and can focus on getting the education they deserve.

You and your fellow ODTUGers will cruise down the Cumberland River from the conference hotel to the foot of South Broadway (“SoBro”), and will enjoy food, beverage, and entertainment on the way.
