Welcome to the Nashville Chapter of CSI
We appreciate your interest in the Nashville Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute and hope you find a way to attend one of our regular
meetings! We are fortunate to have such a great community of design and construction industry professionals – and we look forward to meeting you soon.
Our Chapter meets regularly on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, January through November (with a break in July) from 12:00-1:00pm with registration and networking beginning at
11:30am. Our meetings are held at the Tennessee Engineering Center located just inside the Adventure Science Museum at 800 Fort Negley Blvd. in Nashville, TN.
In addition to our regular chapter meetings, we also hold regular SpecHeads meetings where the topics are generally more technical in nature but the atmosphere is relaxed.
SpecHeads meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at Exterior Materials, 667 Wedgewood Ave, in Nashville.
