Since 2020, some of the online meeting presentations of the Technical Society of Knoxville have been recorded.

You can watch them in the TSK Presentations Channel on YouTube. 

We cannot ascertain that all presentations will become available on our channel because

• a speaker or their employer may not agree to a recording
• technical and other problems may prevent the recording or its quality may be insufficient for further processing
• volunteers may not be available for the tasks of recording, editing, documenting and/or publishing

No predetermined time frame for videos to become available for viewing has been established, as that depends on availability of volunteer hours and on hours needed to process the recording, which varies greatly.

We will announce the availability of additional presentations on this website.
