Nashville Meeting Planning Guide

usic City offers a priceless experience to meeting


planners and delegates, providing state-of-the-art
meeting facilities in the creative, unpretentious setting
that is Music City.
Major travel and consumer magazines have long applauded
the city for its unparalleled music scene, and recently have
noticed the creative culture is also showcased in its dining,
shopping and attractions. All of this creativity is served with
top-notch Southern hospitality that has earned Music City
the title of friendliest city in the country.
Travel + Leisure recently recognized Nashville for its
friendliness, safety and value. Fodors named Nashville one
of Seven Affordable Destinations to visit. Cond Nast Traveler
placed Music City in the Top Five Cities in the World to visit.
And Business Insider chose Nashville as one of the 15 Hottest
American Cities for 2015, citing the areas livability, job
growth, affordability and cool factor.

Affordable

Foodies love the citys burgeoning restaurant scene, which


has been lauded in many national magazines. Husk Nashville,
Rolf and Daughters, Etch, Holland House Bar & Refuge,
Sinema, Flyte, Pinewood Social, Adeles, Josephine and
Chauhan Ale & Masala House to name just a very few
are priced to make their celebrated menus easily accessible
to anyone who enjoys a great meal.
Equally a part of Nashvilles acclaimed food experience
are the citys well-known meat and threes, barbecue joints,
breakfast haunts and casual restaurants that serve up really
big taste with a really reasonable tab. The savory Southern
flavors of places like Hattie Bs Hot Chicken, Pancake
Pantry and The Loveless Cafe have graced the pages of
no less than Bon Apptit, Travel + Leisure and Food & Wine.
Great events throughout the year add even more
opportunities to sample the citys wonderful mix of dining,
entertainment and attractions at low or no cost. Where else
could you get a front-row seat to Lady Antebellum on New
Years Eve, rock out to Cage the Elephant at Live on the Green
or sing along with Billy Currington at the Music City July 4th:
Let Freedom Sing! event all for free?

Authentic

Of course, its that accessibility to great live music that


truly sets Nashville apart. It isnt an experience that can be
duplicated anywhere else. Yet our musical calling card is also
widely available to everyone.
Guests are often surprised to learn most of the famed
honky tonks and live music venues around town have little or
no cover charge for an evening filled with world-class music.
Many of the shows at the renowned Bluebird Cafe have
no cover charge. Similarly, the honky tonks along Lower
Broadway, including Tootsies Orchid Lounge, The Stage
on Broadway, The Second Fiddle and Whiskey Bent
Saloon, never charge a cover. For details on other venues,
go to visitmusiccity.com/freemusic or download the free
live music app that provides information on the go for more
than 160 live music spots around town.
Its also possible to sample the citys cultural attractions
and natural beauty at no charge. Nashville is home to great
urban parks with lovely gardens, event spaces, and historical
attractions and landmarks. Be sure to check out Bicentennial
Capitol Mall State Park, the Music City Walk of Fame and
Centennial Park.
The arts also take center stage at a number of galleries
and free events. The First Saturday Art Crawl is a popular
tradition that spotlights downtown galleries each month.
The Van Vechten Art Gallery at Fisk University houses works
by some of the worlds best artists including Pablo Picasso,
Paul Czanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Georgia OKeeffe.
Similarly, the galleries at Vanderbilt University feature
exciting exhibits by regional and national artists. Hatch Show
Print, one of the countrys oldest working poster print shops,
puts its handiwork on display at its downtown store and gallery.
History also comes to life in a number of other free
downtown attractions including the Tennessee State
Museum and Tennessee State Capitol. And many attractions
with admission fees for adults have greatly reduced or free
admission for children. The Frist Center for the Visual Arts
is always free to those 18 and under.
The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp makes it easy

With its combination of affordable attractions, restaurants and events, its no wonder that Nashville is such a popular meeting destination.
visitmusiccity.com

to tap into affordable fun by offering special discounts and


savings. The Total Access Pass, which is available for purchase
in the visitor centers, includes admission to four great
attractions plus additional transportation and shopping
discounts for one low price. To see all the savings, go to
visitmusiccity.com/discountsdeals.

A+ Facilities

For meeting professionals, the bottom line always comes


back to a citys ability to handle a planners specific needs in
an affordable manner. With two renowned convention centers
and a long list of other meeting venues and off-site facilities,
Nashville exceeds expectations every time.
The Music City Center features 1.2 million square feet
of public space in the heart of downtown. Opened in 2013,
the convention center has a 350,000-square-foot exhibit hall,
90,000 square feet of meeting and breakout space, and a
57,500-square-foot grand ballroom. The facilitys flexible
configurations make it suitable for many of the nations largest
meetings, but also allow for much smaller groups to enjoy the
spectacular array of amenities without feeling overwhelmed.
The 800-room Omni Nashville Hotel is connected to the
center, and there are another 15 hotels within four blocks and
multiple other accommodations within just a few miles radius.
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center has
long been the standard-bearer of hosting unforgettable
meetings. The beautiful resort setting and renowned Southern
hospitality accompany state-of-the-art facilities to meet any

need. The complex includes the 263,000-square-foot Ryman


Exhibit Hall, six ballrooms, 152 meeting rooms and 2,881 guest
rooms under one roof. The luxurious facilities also include a
20,000-square-foot spa, 9 acres of gardens and waterfalls, plus
dozens of restaurants, clubs and shops.
The Music Valley area features more than 35 additional
hotels to create flexible room blocks to accommodate even
the largest groups.

Accessible

Ideally situated within 600 miles of 50 percent of the U.S.


population, Nashvilles location adds to its overall affordability.
With both major and regional carriers flying in and out of
Nashville International Airport, multiple flight options allow
travelers to book based on both convenience and ticket price.
Additionally, three major interstates 65, 24 and 40 all
converge in Nashville. This opens up the possibility of driving
for many delegates and gives them the opportunity to bring the
whole family to stay and play after the meeting ends.

Accolades

Nashville has been hailed as a top meeting and vacation


destination by just about every major magazine and professional
journal, including topping the list in many publications as a top
place to see. Most recent of these include AFAR Where to Go
in 2015; MSN The 15 Hottest American Cities for 2015;
Business Insider The 15 Hottest American Cities for 2015
and Cond Nast Traveler 30 Places to Visit Before Youre 30.

Nashvilles two convention centers offer all the amenities you need for a meeting, plus we have a variety of interesting off-site facilities, too.

Nashville Meeting Planning Guide

ashville is known worldwide as one of the Friendliest


Cities in the Country. The perpetual Southern hospitality
mirrored with stellar customer service ensures that groups
who meet here have an outstanding experience. But dont just
take our word for it see what others have to say.

Corporate

Partnering with the Nashville CVC is a delight. The


organization truly shows a commitment to serving its clients.
The pre-planning meetings were always very thorough, and the
CVC ensured that we accomplished all that we needed to see
and inspect. The CVCs ability to arrange site visits and planning
meetings according to our needs was excellent. Its clear that the
CVCs associates have excellent relationships with the MCC,
the hotels, transportation companies and DMCs, not to mention
the local restaurants. The capable staff deftly leads you from the
sales, pre-planning, onsite and follow-up processes. Calls and
emails were always returned promptly, and information was
gladly shared by all. The CVC is a great source of local knowledge
and helped us through the permitting processes, which were
very extensive. The staff was eager to help make our convention
experience hassle free and painless, and it certainly succeeded.

As planning began for the MacDon 65th Anniversary and


North America Dealer Meeting held in Nashville, 2014, there
was no concept of the fantastic experience we had in store.
From the very first site visit arranged by the NCVC, there was
absolutely no question our event would be a great success for
both the organizers and attendees.
It seemed as if every person in Nashville held a vested
interest in making our event a memorable experience. Folks
from the Department of Public Works, Music City Center and
its contractors, hotel staff, Destination Nashville staff, Ryman
Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, all
the staff from the honky tonks, to the fabulous Wildhorse
Saloon, everyone went out of their way to make us feel
welcome and at home.
Our guests continue to rave about the convention facilities,
the food and our host hotels the Omni and the Renaissance
the honky tonks and the Wildhorse Saloon.
The NCVC was in no small part responsible for that success.
On top of the many great ideas and suggestions, for every
question, concern or crazy notion we had, there was an answer
or a contact name that could make it all happen.
Truly, the Music City experience is one we will never forget.

The Nashville CVC is among the best in the industry.


In April 2015, AOTA had its largest Annual Conference
& Expo in its history at the Music City Center. More than
9,000 attendees from across the United States and 10 nations
descended upon Nashville for four and a half days of education
and networking. Many chose to come early and/or stay late
and enjoy all the opportunities that Nashville has to offer. The
CVC was a great partner throughout the process and worked
hand in hand with AOTA staff to ensure that our attendees had
a great experience. Many of our attendees and staff can hardly
wait until we cycle through Nashville again!

Mapping Music City


Finding Nashvilles live music
venues is easier than ever, thanks to
a few new initiatives by the Nashville
Convention & Visitors Corp.
A free Nashville Live Music
App, available for both iPhone and
Android devices, locates live music
venues throughout the city and
tells you whos on stage. Users can
search by area of town or venue
name, and a handy map function
will show your location and the live
music venue options nearby. The
apps calendar will search live music
events up to 14 days out.
No app? No problem. The
Nashville CVC has also set up a
series of guitar-pick signs that
indicate a live music venue. If a
particular venue features four or
more live shows a week, a pick is
placed outside so visitors know
where to go for music.
Also transforming the way people
are connecting to music in Nashville
is the Wayfinding Guidance System.
The program integrates pedestrian
maps and signage with local street
and traffic guidance signs. Located
at some of the citys most traveled
tourist areas, the signs detail the
major attractions around the area
and help visitors find the sites
closest to them.
To learn more about the CVCs
mobile site and live music app, go to
