TNSTRONG Youth Summit

The Tennessee Department of Health will welcome more than 650 teen advocates from across the state to the TNSTRONG Youth Summit, an annual tobacco prevention conference, July 19th to July 21st, 2026, at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

This year TNSTRONG will celebrate 10 years of TNSTRONG Youth Summits, marking a decade of empowering youth leaders across Tennessee to advocate for nicotine-free communities.

TNSTRONG stands for Tennessee Stop Tobacco and Revolutionize Our New Generation and is Tennessee’s youth-led movement to promote nicotine-free lifestyles. Over the course of three days, participants will engage in dynamic learning experiences focused on tobacco prevention, youth empowerment, leadership development, and community action.

The Summit provides a unique opportunity for young people and adult advocates to collaborate and strengthen prevention efforts across the State of Tennessee.
