Hey! Maggie here.

The purpose and mission of Third Place Productions (TPP) is to produce inclusive and inspiring community-focused events that highlight Chattanooga culture and thought leadership serving as “third places” to further movements, ideas, and conversations. 

I chose the name “Third Place” because we all need spaces outside of our homes and places of work to gather and to feel a sense of belonging. My hope is that the community can find third places through TEDxChattanooga events, Porchfests, pop-up shows, and Side B.

Third Place Productions is a registered 501(c)(3) and is 100% volunteer-run.
