The recent Tennessee Environmental Network Show of the South (TENSOS) was a successful event, with around 800 industry professionals in attendance. The three-day conference took place at the Chattanooga Convention Center, with more than 70 unique education courses. The TBA Environmental Law Section was instrumental in building the legal track, which provided sessions on solid waste, the Endangered Species Act, PFAS Remediation, air law, conservation, a brownfield tour and more.

The forum also featured a reception honoring Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation Commissioner David Salyers. Sponsors of the reception included Grant Kovalinka & Harrison, Davey Resource Group, Chambliss Bahner & Stophel, Bass Berry & Sims, Butler Snow, Baker Donelson, Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, Thompson Burton and the Tennessee Bar Association.
