4 Nashville Meeting Planning Guide
For more than 200 years, music has shaped the history of Nashville. And in return, Nashville has shaped the very nature of music in America and around the world. Today, Music City still attracts not only visitors with a song in their hearts but also thousands of songwriters, musicians, singers, producers and engineers from far and wide. They are the heroes behind the hits and the true citizens of Music City, the place and the creative spirit. And you can catch most of them...

he stage is set, and the curtain is rising as Music City embarks on a new era in the meetings industry. Already recognized as a premier host city, the renovations at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center and construction of the Music City Center and Omni Nashville Hotel downtown are expanding the capacity to welcome even more groups to this world-renowned destination. At 1.2 million square feet, the Music City Center triples the current downtown convention space and is the centerpiece of an exciting new meeting and event campus that encompasses Bridgestone Arena, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the new Omni Nashville Hotel. Best of all, the campus is literally just steps away from all of downtowns popular entertainment and dining venues. The Music City Center, which opens its doors in early 2013, features a 350,000-square-foot exhibit hall with uninterrupted spans of space and an acoustic design allowing it to double as a concert hall. The facility also includes 57 meeting rooms,

a 57,000-square-foot ballroom and 32 loading docks for ultimate flexibility. The project, which is committed to garnering LEED silver certification, seamlessly incorporates green space with a thoroughly modern design aesthetic that includes native limestone facades and a curved roofline mirroring the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. Located just across the street, the Omni Nashville Hotel, also opening in 2013, will serve as the headquarters property for the Music City Center. Featuring 800 rooms and suites and an additional 80,000 square feet in meeting and event space, the Omni Nashville will capture the citys spirit through innovative design and elegantly appointed interiors. The hotel will include retail venues, a large fitness center, multiple dining options, pool and luxurious Mokara spa. Adding to the excitement, the Omni Nashville will connect to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The famed musical landmark is planning a multimillion-dollar expansion that will increase exhibit areas and dovetail with the museum and hotel

at various levels. The Country Music Hall of Fame will also operate an 800-seat theater adjacent to the hotels meeting space, and music memorabilia will be displayed in designated areas of the hotel. The current Nashville Convention Center continues to serve guests with its signature attention to detail and customer service. Plans are in the works to transition the center into a Medical Trade Mart after the Music City Center is operational. Nashvilles worldwide reputation as a leader in health-care services, research and management makes it the logical choice to host such an ambitious project. Already, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society has announced it will relocate its headquarters to Nashville as part of the 1.5-million-square-foot project. On the northeast side of town, the magnificent Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center has undergone a stunning transformation. When the rains came down in Nashville in May 2010, the resulting flood caused damage to the beloved resort. But there has been an incredible silver lining. The Gaylord Opryland leadership team committed to re-imagining public and private spaces to exceed every expectation. The result is simply spectacular. The Cascades Lobby features a contemporary new look, along with five new restaurants and lounges, and a VIP check-in area with technology additions to enhance customer service. The hotel has also redesigned its presidential suites and completely renovated the Magnolia guest rooms, which are imbued with sophisticated style. No matter how many times youve visited Music City, prepare for an entirely new experience.
even More to love

In addition to exciting developments with the citys premier meeting facilities, Nashville is celebrating a host of other expansions. The Nashville International Airport sets the right tone from the minute you touch down. A comprehensive renovation project has already brought 30 new dining and retail establishments to the terminal, including homegrown treasures such as Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Noshville and Whitts Barbecue. The first phase also included a consolidated central security checkpoint. In 2011, the second phase wraps up with the unveiling of an expanded ticket lobby, renovated baggage claim area and airline gate waiting rooms, updated wall coverings and flooring, enhanced infrastructure and a restroom renovation project. By the end of 2011, the highly anticipated consolidated rental car facility, CONRAC, should be completed. The 900,000square-foot facility can house 2,400 rental cars and 10 rental car companies, and features car wash bays and fueling stations. After doubling its size in 2010, Nashville Shores is at it again. For 2011, the water park added Kowabunga Beach. The four-story-tall water treehouse and sprayground has more than 70 interactive features and includes four water slides, bridges, tunnels and a giant bucket that tips hundreds of gallons of water every few minutes. The all-new RV Resort and Campgrounds also opened in 2011 with more than 100 RV sites and cabins, including waterfront sites on the shores of Percy Priest Lake.
8 Nashville Meeting planning Guide
Downtown Nashville
ant to host a meeting with real star power? Music City is singing your tune. With convention centers located in both attractive resort and vibrant urban settings, meeting planners have two great options from which to choose. Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, located northeast of downtown, features a complete menu of on-site services and amenities in an opulent setting. After floodwaters damaged much of the magnificent property in May 2010, the resort underwent a massive rebuild and debuted spectacular new public spaces and luxurious rooms and suites in time for the holidays. Back better and more beautiful than ever, the hotel and convention center will feel brand new even to those who have visited many times before. The downtown Nashville Convention Center continues to serve meeting planners with signature style, while construction on the 1.2-million-square-foot Music City Center is well under way and scheduled for completion in early 2013. Opening later that year, the Omni Nashville Hotel with 800 guest rooms and more than 80,000 square feet of meeting space will serve as the headquarters hotel for the new convention center. Both the downtown and Opryland facilities are just minutes from the Nashville International Airport, which also recently underwent a major renovation. Nashville is centrally located and easily accessible by air or interstate. Located within a days drive of 50 percent of the
countrys population, Interstates 40, 24 and 65 all intersect here. The convenient location adds to the citys overall affordability. Consistently ranked as one of the nations top 25 meeting destinations, Nashvilles hotels are known for their attention to service, yet their rates are generally lower than other markets. And, of course, Music City delivers even more value when factoring in originality, charm and hospitality. Flexible space, affordable luxury and a worldwide reputation that attracts delegates in droves its no wonder Music City has attained superstar status among meeting planners.
corporate Meetings
Event Logistics Inc. is a global meetings management company, and we have been privileged to manage the meetings for Tractor Supply Co. for many years. The relationship with Nashvilles venues, the CVB and the city has been a wonderful partnership. The ease of travel, flexible meeting space and fantastic entertainment venues make Nashville a meeting location that we are hard pressed to duplicate elsewhere. Topping it off are industry professionals who provide exceptional service filled with warm and Southern hospitality. The meeting attendance grows substantially each year, and we are anxiously looking forward to our move to the new Music City Center in 2014.

Nashville was the first city in America to establish a metropolitan government, which combines both city and county offices. As the state capital, Nashville is home to state government offices, as well as many federal offices.
No matter the industry, planners of corporate meetings will find many beneficial local tie-ins. The citys diversified economic base, coupled with numerous outstanding meeting facilities and unique function venues, means there is space available that will fit your needs perfectly.
Multicultural Meetings
Nashville is the home of National Baptist Convention USA, Inc., and we consider the Nashville CVB our extended family, helping make our meetings a great success! They serve with such excitement, grace and ease any time we are in Nashville, and we never wonder if we are coming back.

When we planned our first-time bid to host this conference in Nashville, the Nashville CVB put together a proposal and site visit that blew away all other competition. From that point through the conference, the CVB team provided exceptional support, guidance, ideas and expertise. It helped make our event a huge success and gave our host committee complete confidence that we were providing a unique and outstanding Music City experience to our 1,000 attendees.

Nashville has become a model of the American melting pot, as different cultures, heritages, ideas, customs and religions come together harmoniously in Music City. Multicultural diversity extends to an active American Indian population, a thriving Hispanic community, a growing Middle Eastern and Asian presence, and the largest Kurdish population in the United States.

Both the city and state have active black and Hispanic chambers of commerce that work closely with the NCVBs vice president of multicultural meetings.
religious
We bring about 7,000 clergy and lay people together for a five-day event, and we work with a modest budget and a small staff. Our guests often participate because their faith communities have asked them to, so the resources used to get them to Assembly are not just limited, but precious. The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau staff gets that. Generous with their time, talent and expertise, they helped resource us to promote our event, and to host our brothers and sisters among the Disciples of Christ. They were patient and completely professional. We are a small Assembly by some standards, but we were treated like the most important event to ever come to Nashville. Clearly, Nashville has prioritized hospitality and given the CVB permission to express it on behalf of the whole city. Well done!

Nashville was hit with devastating floods in May. The Gaylord Opryland was one of the casualties. So only a month or two before our meeting and with 8,000 attendees registered we were faced with a tough decision. But then the Nashville people in the midst of all their misery made an incredible effort. They worked night and day for two months to make alternate housing and meeting arrangements. In so doing, they showed us how much they wanted us there. They became so much more than just a host they became a partner. Somehow, Nashville pulled it off. And, in pulling it off, Nashville showed its commitment to the entire meetings industry. When we realized we had to relocate almost 3,000 people who had been booked at the Opryland, we nearly lost hope. But Nashville never did. And this event ended up being one of our most successful conventions ever. Now, we are booked to return.
Donald Charlie palochko, Director of business operations moose international July 2010, nashville Convention Center and area hotels
As home base for many national religious organizations, Nashville is known as a theological center. The city is a model of religious tolerance with 800 churches, synagogues, mosques and temples, representing more than 60 denominations and religions.

I want to thank the Nashville CVB and their partners for their welcoming, friendly and professional treatment of our attendees during our 2011 Newer Professionals Forum. I can honestly say our members were amazed by the hospitality and service they received from the CVB team, the hotel and local vendors. I was impressed by the way everyone made us feel as if we were the only group in town. Their on-site support was unparalleled and has definitely earned them a spot on our list of fun, affordable and desired destinations. We will definitely host a meeting in Nashville again!

The National Wild Turkey Federation held our 35th annual Convention and Sport Show at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville. Eleven of our 35 conventions have been held in Nashville, and we have already signed contracts for 2012-2015. Throughout the years, the NWTF staff and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau have developed a strong partnership. The NWTFs goal is to flood Nashville with outdoor enthusiasts, and the bureau is willing to do whatever they can to help make this happen.

love Music city? theres an app For that

Bob Dylan once famously observed, the times they are a changin, but the singer/songwriter couldnt possibly have foreseen just how much would change in the span of a generation. At the time he recorded his seminal album Nashville Skyline, it was unimaginable that people around the world would one day download music from that session with a few keystrokes, or that they would want to learn more about the city that served as his muse in the same way. Now, with the rise of smartphones, it has never been easier to access information on Music City. The Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau has custom-built a mobile website with instant access to key information, including events, sights and sounds, lodging and dining. Users can even book hotel rooms and purchase travel packages. The mobile site is available at www.visitmusiccity.mobi. To maximize functionality for users, the NCVB has developed a tutorial that can be accessed at www.visitmusiccity.com/mobile. There are several other ways to keep up with the latest news from Nashville while on the go. A live music app can help you locate live music venues throughout the city and tell 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, powered by NowPlayingNashville.com, will search live music events up to 14 days out. Check out Visit Music City on Facebook to find out about the latest promotions and share trip ideas with others. Or, follow Nashville on Twitter @visitmusiccity for timely tweets on whats happening right now. And dont miss a beat of the citys diverse playlist at www.youtube.com/nashvillemusiccity.
