Tech Connect | June 8, 2027 in Nashville

Mike Keith, the esteemed broadcaster recently appointed as the next "Voice of the Vols" for the University of Tennessee, brings unparalleled expertise and charisma to our 3rd annual Tech Connect event once again, as Master of Ceremonies. With decades of experience in sports broadcasting, including his role as the play-by-play announcer for the Tennessee Titans for 25 years, Mike has become a household name for his engaging storytelling and profound connection with his audience.

He has received numerous accolades, including Tennessee Sportscaster of the Year ten times, showcasing his dedication and excellence in his field. Mike’s dynamic presence and ability to connect with diverse audiences make him the perfect choice to lead and energize this year’s Tech Connect event.

Hatch Show Print, a working letterpress print shop since 1879, uses its vast collection of vintage type and hand-carved imagery to create timeless designs that express and commemorate America's evolving cultural identity.

From the restrikes, or historical reprints, of posters for classic films and advertisements for circuses and state fairs, to the custom orders printed in the shop today, the products of Hatch Show Print have always been designed and printed by hand in Nashville, Tennessee.
