Music lovers know how rare it is for an artist to produce
hit after hit, year after year. In a whats hot right now
world, its unusual to find stars with staying power.
When it happens, we call them legends.
For so many hoping to gain superstar status, the journey
begins in Nashville. Over the years, the city has become as
famous as the music produced here. Singers and songwriters
from all genres are drawn to the creative culture that is a
hallmark of Music City. But its more than just creativity
Nashville has flourished even in the glare of the spotlight.
Nashville has been named one of the top destinations in
the world to visit by Cond Nast Traveler, The New York Times,
Travel + LeisureandFodors.
The burgeoning food scene, luxury shopping venues,
amenity-filled hotels, full slate of attractions, renowned
hospitality and, of course, world-famous live entertainment
have put Nashville at the top of a lot of lists.Business Insider
noted that while there has been a lot of recent attention on
Nashville, its a city that has been on travelers radar for years.
The qualities that make Nashville so appealing to
performers and visitors alike make it equally attractive to
businesses and meeting planners. After all, creativity is just
another word for innovation, and what industry wouldnt
like a little more of that?
SETTING THE TONEFor meeting professionals, it all starts with the facilities.
Nashville clearly has you covered with two great options in
one dynamic destination. The new Music City Centerfeatures
1.2 million square feet of public space in an urban setting. Just
a few miles away, the spectacular Gaylord Opryland Resort
& Convention Centeroffers nearly 3,000 rooms and more
than 863,000 square feet of flexible meeting space in a lush
resort setting.
Opened in 2013, the Music City Center seamlessly blends
the latest technology with unique architectural features that
capture the spirit of Nashville in an iconic new landmark in theheart of downtown. With a commitment to sustainable design,
the modern structure, with its soaring windows and stunning
skyline views, is capped by a 4-acre green roof that mimics the
beautiful rolling hills of Middle Tennessee.
Inside, there is a 350,000-square-foot exhibit hall,
90,000 square feet of meeting and breakout space, and a
57,500-square-foot grand ballroom suitable for many of
the countrys largest conventions. Yet, the flexible setup
also allows smaller groups to enjoy the facilitys array
of amenities.
The 16-acre downtown site puts delegates in walking
distance of many of the citys most famous live music spots,
Left:Performances by stars such as Luke Bryan are one of the reasons Nashville is a must-see destination. Above:The new Omni Nashville Hotel andthe adjacent Music City Center combine for a top-notch convention location downtown. The Gaylord OprylandResort & Convention Center providesanother terrific option for meetings, with everything you might need all under one roof.

fashionable restaurants and popular attractions. Rooftop
venues and private space in nightclubs offer a great way to
host events with true Music City style.
The new Omni Nashville Hotel, Country Music Hall
of Fame and Museum, and Hatch Show Printare actuallypart of the MCC campus, located between Fourth and Eighth
avenues. The 800-room Omni is fully integrated with the
Country Music Hall of Fame on three floors, opening up
terrific possibilities for a variety of functions.
Just a few miles from the Nashville International
Airport, the award-winning Gaylord Opryland Resort &
Convention Centerhas been a staple for planners looking
for an ideal site to host an unforgettable meeting. The lovely
columned faade that greets guests as they enter the property
sets the tone for the resorts renowned Southern hospitality.
Gaylord Opryland gives guests and planners what they
need and want the best of both worlds. While the lovelymurals paying tribute to Nashvilles history, beautifully
appointed rooms and lush gardens call up the elegance of a
bygone era, the convention facilities feature the flexibility
and technology to meet planners needs.
Guests can enjoy a 20,000-square-foot spa, 9 acres of
gardens and waterfalls, and more than a dozen on-site dining
options. Meeting professionals are able to utilize 2,881 rooms
under one roof, the 263,000-square-foot Ryman Exhibit Hall,
six ballrooms and 152 meeting rooms.
Excellent retail and entertainment venues also abound.
In addition to the options located within the hotel, the campus
features the world-famous Grand Ole Opry, GeneralJackson Showboatand shopping mecca Opry Mills, with
more than 200 stores, a plethora of dining options and
an IMAX theater.
HITTING THE HIGH NOTES
Theres even more to explore throughout the city. Artgalleries, family-themed attractions, historic homes and
professional sports all expand the playlist. Designer stores
and interesting boutiques also add flair to any afternoon.
As much fun as Nashville is by day, Music City really
heats up at night. The restaurant scene is quickly becoming
as famous as the citys renowned live entertainment.
Bon Appetit, Travel + LeisureandFood & Winehave
all recently paid homage to the citys eclectic mix of haute
Southern cuisine. Restaurants including City House, Etch
Restaurant, The Catbird Seat, Husk, The Farm House
and Rolf and Daughtershave won national accolades for
inventive menus and delicious dining.And then theres the music. Country, rock, pop, jazz, blues,
alternative its all here and its all live. Whether youre sitting
in the intimate Bluebird Cafelistening to incredibly talented
songwriters or joining one of the thousands rocking to Taylor
Swift at Bridgestone Arena, there is simply no other city in
the world that plays the way Music City does.
With so much to see and do, its impossible to explore
all the options in one stay. Thats why so many visitors and
meeting professionals put Nashville into their regular rotation.
Whether revisiting the citys classic hits or checking out the
newest additions to its repertoire, youll want to come again
and again to enjoy all of the sights and sounds of Nashville.Its the stuff legends are made of.
Delegates can enjoy a variety of restaurants, art galleries and honky tonks all within walking distance of the Music City Center and area hotels.

Thank you for your outstanding effort and support, your
time and resources as we toured venues, your information

the NWFA to make our 2014 Expo a tremendous success! We
had our largest attendance in over six years with a 30 percent
increase over our 2013 Expo in Dallas. You provided us with
the most unbelievable customer service from start to finish.The ads, maps and other marketing tools you developed for us
to use to help promote the show were absolutely fantastic! You
