The convention is expected to feature a wide-ranging program of entertainment, professional networking, community engagement, and cultural celebrations.
According to organizers, Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani will headline the musical lineup, alongside performances by the Threeory Band and Orange Street.

Organizers have also planned a traditional Srinivasa Kalyanam ceremony and the presentation of the TTA Awards of Excellence.
The convention is a platform to celebrate Telugu heritage while strengthening cultural, professional, and community ties among Telugu families across North America.
The organization has invited members of the diaspora and supporters of Telugu culture to participate in the three-day event in Charlotte.
Founded as a nonprofit socio-cultural and charitable organization, TTA works to promote and preserve Telangana and Telugu heritage in the United States and Canada through cultural, educational, and community initiatives.
