Nashville entrepreneurs, business leaders and developers: here's awesome news. Google is coming to Nashville! In partnership with FLO {thinkery}, The Entrepreneur Center, The Tennessee Film, Entertainment and Music Commission, and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, Google is proud to announce the first Google for Entrepreneurs event Thursday, April 19. Experts from Google will be there to host hands-on sessions on Google tools for businesses. Topics will include tools to help measure traffic (Google Analytics), tools to reach and engage new audiences (Google+), lessons on effective online advertising (AdWords), and monetizing your creative content (YouTube). The Creators’ Freedom Project will also join the event for an evening reception celebrating entrepreneurship among artists and musicians. Nashville entrepreneurs, content creators, business leaders, tech stars and digital marketers are invited to attend. And, to cap off the evening, there will be a showcase performance by new Sorted Noise artist The CO. Google itself was once a startup in a garage and believes that the next great idea can come from anywhere. "We're really excited to head to Nashville to spend time with and learn from the startup community. We hope to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs to build and scale businesses and be successful online," said Mary Himinkool, Google's Head of Global Entrepreneurship Outreach. There will be something for everyone from C suites to coder geeks. See the full agenda below and register beginning March 19 at 12 midnight. Space is limited. Once registrations are capped, even Jack White will have to hover behind the velvet rope.

Local Businesses: Learn from the Google team about Adwords, search, Google+ Pages, display, mobile and SEO.
