Award-winning publicist will teach entrepreneurs how to leverage media to amplify their message at the September 17 LOUDER event.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., (September 15, 2026) — Heather Holmes, co-founder and CEO of Publicity For Good, and author of Seen by AI, Found by Customers, will join the speaker lineup at The Thing Roadshow Nashville on Thursday, September 17, teaching entrepreneurs how to use the media to amplify their message and get heard.
The one-day event, themed “LOUDER,” brings founders, visionaries and business builders together for a focused day of practical strategy and honest conversation. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the main program runs until 4:30 p.m., followed by an optional VIP dinner. Tickets start at $79. Holmes will share how founders can turn media coverage into lasting visibility at a time when clarity matters more than volume.
“Getting louder isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room, but about making sure the right people hear your message,” said Heather Holmes, founder and CEO of Publicity For Good. “The media is one of the most powerful tools a founder has to be seen, be heard and build something with authority that lasts.”
She joins a lineup of leaders focused on communication, storytelling and connection. Rather than leaving after their sessions, speakers will stay in the room throughout the day, continuing conversations and building real relationships with attendees.
Registration is open now at thething.live/nashville-roadshow-2026.
