Music Calls
ew cities can claim an identity as well-defined as that of Music City. Ever since the strains of the Grand Ole Opry first echoed from the rafters of the historic Ryman Auditorium and rippled out over the WSM radio airwaves, music has continued to pour forth from Nashville’s world-class concert venues, honky-tonks, clubs and cafés, drawing huge crowds for performances by today’s hottest stars and showcasing a wealth of entertainment across a broad spectrum of styles.
But Nashville isn’t just where the music is played – it’s also where the music gets made, and that culture of creativity makes its mark on every aspect of this vibrant city.
Nashville continues to garner national accolades as a
great place to live, work and play.In 2008, NBC’s “Today” show named Nashville one of
the five friendliest cities in America.And in 2009, MSN Travel ranked Nashville 13th on the
coolest American Cities list, saying: “Nashville, Tenn., is the heart and soul of country music in America. A newly revi-talized downtown district, however, features several clubs that showcase emerging and established rock and blues acts.”
Throughout the city’s 200-year history, Nashville’s creative energy has contributed to a diverse business climate that has enabled the city to grow and prosper.
So, come to Nashville. Come see, hear and experience all that Music City has to offer.

une into Music City for a meeting site that’s sure to be a hit with delegates. With stellar convention venues and a line-up of perfect places for off-site functions, plus plenty of dining and nightlife options and a full slate of activities for families, it’s easy to see why Nashville strikes a chord with meeting executives. What’s more, local industry professionals aim to keep this city at the top of the charts, constantly retuning and making sure the Music City mix is hip and up to date. We invite you to learn more about Nashville’s constantly expanding playlist.
Already home to convention facilities in both resort and downtown settings, Nashville’s urban meeting facility infrastructure is getting a billion-dollar boost, offering meeting planning professionals more options than ever before, along with the flex ibility to plan events ranging from small, intimate board meetings to large national and international conventions.
With construction set to begin in the fall of 2009 on the new, state-of-the-art Music City Center (MCC) convention
facility, there’s never been a more exciting time to plan a meeting in Nashville.
The new, high-performance Music City Center, located adjacent to the Sommet Center on the south side of Broadway, will more than double the downtown meeting and exhibit space available in the current convention center.
Plans call for the facility to be built out at 1.2 million square feet and feature a 370,000-square-foot exhibit space acoustically designed to double as a concert hall, more than 50 meeting rooms, two ballrooms and approximately 36 loading docks for the ultimate in flexibility and ease.
The MCC will offer stunning views of the Nashville skyline and, in keeping with the city’s commitment to sustainable development, boast a green roof. In addition, the building has been designed to capture Nashville’s best attributes and immerse visitors in the unique character of Music City. The massive project is scheduled for completion in 2013, and convention planners are already reserving their dates.
In conjunction with the new Music City Center, a brand-new, 1,000-room hotel is planned for the land adjoining the new center. The hotel, which is being
Expanding the

developed by Phelps Portman Nashville LLC, will be located on the corner of Fifth Avenue South and Korean Veterans Boulevard.
Air travelers will be pleased to see the many changes taking place at the Nashville International Airport. Launched in the fall of 2006, a multiyear, multiphase renovation project aimed at enhancing passenger satisfaction and security is under way.
A new, centralized security checkpoint with 12 lanes has streamlined safety measures, and new flight information panels make it easier for passengers to stay on the move.
Furthermore, the Metro Nashville Airport Authority believes that giving travelers a proper introduction to Nashville helps set the tone for a stay in Music City. To that end, new dining, entertainment and retail venues hve set up shop in the terminal.
A few of the new restaurants that offer a true taste of Nashville include Gibson Café, Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Whitt’s Barbecue.
Live music, retail shops and artwork by regional artists showcase the city’s creative spirit and provide a warm welcome for arriving passengers or offer a parting keepsake for those returning home.
When you’re ready to paint the town, check out the list of possible venues in our Uniquely Nashville section on page 48. With more than 60 exclusive area locations suitable for off-site events, you’re sure to capture the city’s Southern charm and provide a memorable outing for delegates.
Two new urban venues that offer spectacular views of downtown are Aerial, a glass-enclosed rooftop room ideal for parties of 10 to 300, and one eleven, which includes 4,500 square feet of space encompassing three distinctive areas – including an open-air patio and glass-enclosed room, both on Broadway.
Other possibilities range from outdoor settings that take advantage of Nashville’s warm climate to live enter-tainment venues and historic homes.

hen it comes to corporate meetings with real star quality, Nashville hits all the right notes. Regardless of the industry, meeting planners find Music City’s Southern hospitality welcoming, and its blockbuster meeting facilities – Gaylord Opryland® Resort and Convention Center, the downtown Nashville Convention Center and the soon-to-be-built Music City Center – exceptionally designed to meet a wide variety of needs with their own unique settings. Its contemporary style and multicultural atmosphere mean planners have access to outstanding meeting facilities and unique venues that suit a wide variety of needs.
In addition, Nashville is a southeastern hub, located within a day’s drive of 50 percent of the country’s population and easily accessible via three interstate highways. The city also is served by 10 major airlines at the recently renovated Nashville International Airport, making it an easy destination for international travelers.
Hotel rates are affordable, too. In fact, they generally rank lower than other cities that count themselves among the nation’s top 25 meeting destinations, yet the quality of service remains top-notch.
Nashville’s history of hosting great meetings has earned
numerous accolades. No wonder Facilities & Destinations magazine named the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau a 2009 Prime Site and Top Destination.
“Our 1,400 attendees had an experience to remember during our recent national convention, as Nashville had everything we were looking for: outstanding meeting space, more than enough hotel rooms and a vibrant downtown area for outside activities. We have conducted 10 conventions in the past at other major convention destinations, and Nashville’s appeal resonated with our attendees to produce the largest attended event in our history. I will look for other opportunities to utilize this location and would encourage others to strongly consider Nashville as their convention or meeting destination.”
Mike Lambert, President

No matter the industry, planners of corporate meetings will find many beneficial local tie-ins. The city’s diversified economic base, coupled with

numerous outstanding meeting facilities and unique function venues, means there is space available that will fit your needs perfectly.
“Our experience in Nashville was exceptional! From the site visit to the help of Convention Services, everything was smooth and easy.”
Dee Anne Holcomb NCLC at University of Oklahoma (for U.S. Department of Education’s National Reading Conference) July 2008, Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center
With more than 20 colleges and universities in the metropolitan area, it’s easy to see why Nashville has long been dubbed the “Athens of the South.” The city’s dedication to education is a strong draw for academicians.
“Our 2008 conference in Nashville was our best yet. Attendance was up 15 percent, and attendees and exhibitors are still raving about it! We will for sure bring our conference back to this great and affordable destination!”
Katey Preston, Director of Meetings and Conferences American Institute of Steel Construction March 2008, Nashville Convention Center/Renaissance Hotel and various overflows
A recognized leader in health-care technology and an emerging player in the biotech industry, Nashville also is home to many nationally recognized engineering firms and takes a leading role in scientific research, particularly in the medical field. Vanderbilt University’s Engineering School is one of the leading institutions for robotics research in the country.
“I would like to take the opportunity to personally let you know how much we all appreciated the hard work, attention to detail and professional attitude displayed by your staff during our site visit to the Nashville area. I have been conference chairman for the past five years, and I can honestly say that never have we been received so well. Everything we wanted to see and do was accomplished. Our entire experience of being in Nashville was truly memorable.”
Richard F. Pryke, Conference Chairman Utility Helicopters Project Office, United States Army November 2009, Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center

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.
“Nashville is a great city to hold medical meetings. We’ve seen increased attendance in meetings that we’ve held here. The city is centrally located, offers great packages for midsize meetings and downtown offers an exciting, busy and safe atmosphere for my attendees to go out and enjoy the city.”
Vanessa A. Mobley, CMP, Senior Meetings Manager, Association Management Center American Association of Neuroscience Nurses March 2008, Nashville Convention Center/Renaissance Hotel
Nashville is widely recognized as a national and international leader in the health-care industry. More than half of all investor-owned hospital beds are owned and managed by Nashville-based companies.
“No matter how you look at it – geographically, economically
or otherwise – Nashville is a great location for our annual meeting. We consider Nashville our hometown, and the new Music City Center will make coming home even more exciting.”
R. Clark Logan Jr., Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee June 2005, Nashville Convention Center June 2013, Music City Center
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.
“Nashville delivers both – a central location and wonderful facilities. From planning to execution, Nashville’s hospitality community anticipated and fulfilled all of GMWA’s needs. Nashville not only met but exceeded our attendees’ demanding expectations. Can’t wait to return.”
Mark Smith, CMP Gospel Music Workshop of America August 2008, Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center

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.
Local SupportBoth the city and state have active black and Hispanic
chambers of commerce that work closely with the NCVB’s vice president of multicultural meetings.

No matter the season, Music City has plenty to sing about. You’ll feel like singing, too, when you capitalize on special events that are scheduled here all year long.
So many events are scheduled in April that the month can only be described as awesome! The GMA Dove Awards, Tin Pan South songwriters’ festival, Music City Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony, Nashville Film Festival and the Country Music Marathon & 1/2 Marathon kick off a spring blossoming with fun and festivities.
Summer in Nashville heats up with big events in June and July. The CMA Music Festival is a hot attraction for country music fans. The popular four-day festival takes place in early June and features country’s hottest stars playing their hits on various stages set up all over downtown.The following month, celebrate America’s birthday at the annual Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing! event at Riverfront Park. Great food and live music are available along the banks of the Cumberland River, and as darkness descends, the stars (Wynonna headlined the 2009 event) come out for an evening of entertainment. The festival culminates with a spectacular fireworks display synched to favorite patriotic songs performed by the internationally renowned, Grammy-winning Nashville
Symphony. AOL City Guide ranks the all-day festival No. 2 in the nation, and the event also was recently named one of AOL’s Top Booms With a View.
A full roster of activities, from barbecue cook-offs, crafts festivals and cultural celebrations to jazz on the lawn of a historic home, a gathering of noted authors, the African Street Festival, Titans football and Predators hockey games, populate Nashville’s fall calendar.In early November, the nationally televised Country Music Association Awards is “Country Music’s Biggest Night.” The annual event, held at the Sommet Center, brings together country’s hottest superstars for an evening of recognition and entertainment. The semiannual Music City Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place during CMA week as well.
There’s no place like Music City for the holidays. Celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Posada de Navidad and more as you bid goodbye to another year in grand style with a full slate of cultural events, concerts, theatrical performances and historic celebrations. Throughout November and December, lavish lights and elaborate decorations envelop the city in the beauty and magic of the season, inviting all who want to come home to Nashville for the holidays.
