RJ Young, a leading provider of technology solutions powering businesses across the Southeast, hosted its second annual Tech Connect on June 3, 2025, at Ole Red in downtown Nashville. This dynamic, multi-level experience brought together the region’s top business leaders, tech innovators, and solution partners for an evening of insight, innovation, and connection.
Now in its 70th year of business, RJ Young continues to redefine what it means to support the modern office—offering solutions that span from managed IT and cybersecurity to A/V systems, physical security, phone systems, expense management, and cutting-edge software tools. Tech Connect 2025 showcased these offerings last week through demonstrations and hands-on activations across every level of the iconic Broadway venue.
Returning as Master of Ceremonies is Mike Keith, the longtime “Voice of the Titans” and now the “Voice of the Vols,” celebrating over two decades of partnership with RJ Young and helping guide attendees through this high-energy event.
