The Pellissippi Parkway corridor between West Knox and Oak Ridge has quietly become East Tennessee third major corporate-event market — alongside Y-12/ORNL and Eastman/Kingsport. Tech companies, research firms, regional headquarters, and professional services have clustered here.
Why Pellissippi corridor for corporate events
Three drivers: tech employer density (Pellissippi State, multiple research firms, regional HQs), easy access to both downtown Knoxville and Oak Ridge, and a sweet spot of suburban venues with corporate-friendly parking. We deliver across Farragut, Hardin Valley, Solway, and the wider West Knox corridor.
