Music Calls Us Home
T
here are very few cities in the world with names that are instantly recognizable. Nashville is one of those places. Whether it’s a young singer with a guitar slung across his shoulder, music ringing from the rafters of the historic Ryman Auditorium or the high-energy pyrotechnics that accompany live performances by today’s hottest stars, most everyone thinks entertainment when they hear Music City. But Nashville isn’t just where the music is played – it’s where it is made, and that gives rise to a creative culture that permeates every aspect of the city. Noted writer Richard Florida, author of Who’s Your City? How the Creative Economy Is Making Where To Live the Most Important Decision of Your Life, says Nashville
is a place where the best and brightest collaborate with top talent. “Today, it is home to much of the world’s best studio talent,” Florida says, “and has eclipsed even New York and L.A. as the place for music writing, recording and publishing.” For more than two centuries, Nashville has found a way to harmoniously blend its creative energy into a diversified business climate that has enabled the city to grow and prosper. Come experience everything this one-of-a-kind city has to offer but, of course, make time to enjoy your favorite form of live entertainment while in town. After all, this is the city that music calls home. w w w.visitmusiccit y.com

Expanding the Playlist he minute you tune into Music City as your meeting site, you know it will be a hit with delegates. After all, this is a destination that offers two blockbuster venues from which to choose. Add to that a large number of off-site function sites, dining and nightlife options, and an array of activities for families, and it’s easy to see why this city strikes a chord with meeting executives. To ensure Nashville stays at the top of the charts, local industry professionals are continually remixing and updating. We invite you to learn more about Music City’s expanded playlist.

Two New Releases Billion with a “B” – as in $1.5 billion – that’s how much is being invested in meeting facility infrastructure improvements between Gaylord Opryland® Resort & Convention Center and the new Music City Center (the name of Nashville’s new downtown convention center). With major construction and expansion plans in both resort and urban settings, meeting professionals have more options than ever before and the flexibility to plan events – from small, intimate board meetings to large national and international conventions. There’s certainly never been a more exciting time to plan a Music City meeting.

The new 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 more than 1 million square feet (compared to 475,000 square feet in the current location), feature a 375,000-square-foot exhibit hall, 80 to 100 meeting rooms, two ballrooms, a nearly 3,000-seat theater and approximately 40 loading docks for the ultimate in flexibility and ease. The massive project is scheduled for completion in 2013. For Gaylord Entertainment Co., 400 is a very popular number. The company recently announced a proposed $400 million expansion to their flagship Nashville location that would add more than 400,000 square feet of convention and meeting space plus a new 400-room, luxury, all-suite hotel adjacent to the current resort property. Gaylord will offer convention delegates and meeting planners a total of 3,281 hotel rooms and more than 1 million square feet of convention and meeting space in one centralized location, not to mention a full array of resort amenities, including dining, shopping, spa services, attractions and entertainment.
Flying High Positively transformed – that’s what passengers will say when they see the many changes at the Nashville International Airport (BNA). The terminal is undergoing a multiyear, multiphase renovation project. Launched in the fall of 2006, the changes are all designed to enhance passenger satisfaction and security. A new, centralized security checkpoint with 12 lanes will streamline safety measures. New flight information panels also make it easier for passengers to stay on the move. First impressions are important. That’s why the Metro Nashville Airport Authority has made it a priority to give passengers a proper introduction to Nashville. An array of new dining, entertainment and retail venues immediately set the tone for a stay in Music City. New additions such as Gibson Cafe, Tootsies Orchid Lounge and Whitt’s Barbecue truly capture the flavor of Nashville. But, music and dining aren’t the only ways to sample the local flavor. Retailers and regional artists also showcase the city’s creative spirit – providing a great start for arriving passengers or one more special keepsake for those returning home.
Let Us Entertain You To put your own special spin on an evening on the town, turn to our Uniquely Nashville venue list on page 48. It offers more than 60 exclusive area locations to plan an off-site event that truly captures the character of this charming Southern city. Two new urban venues that provide magnificent views of downtown are Aerial, a glass-enclosed rooftop room ideally suited for private parties of 10 to 300, and one eleven, which includes 4,500 square feet of space encompassing three distinctive areas that include an openair patio and glass-enclosed room – both on Broadway. Other facilities range from historic homes and live entertainment venues to open settings that are perfect for taking advantage of the warm climate. w w w.visitmusiccit y.com

“When selecting a destination with an international audience of attendees, ease of air transportation is always important. This was one the concerns we had when looking at Nashville for our Worldwide Sales Forum in April 2008. This concern turned to be the exact opposite. Over 45 percent of our 1,100 attendees were from outside the United States. Ease of ights in and out of Nashville were not only plentiful, they were cost effective with limited stops or connections to get there. This proved to be the case, even with the limited lead time we gave attendees to make their arrangements. As for Nashville itself, I cannot say enough about the city, its people, ďŹ rst-class accommodations and the wonderful experience we had. It turned out to be, hands down, the best Sales Forum we have ever had. This is truly one of the premier conference destinations in North America. We will deďŹ nitely be back!â€? Paul Casso, Manager, Event Operations BMC Software Inc. April 2008, Gaylord OprylandÂŽ Resort & Convention Center
“I was excited about coming back to Nashville because whatever I need, whenever I need it, the Nashville CVB points me in the right direction via its members to make it happen, AND they follow up to ensure it’s done right!� Kathy Gorton, Event & Travel Manager Sunbelt Rentals Inc.

Getting In Getting Nashville is one of only six cities in the nation where three interstates connect. I-65 connects the city with Louisville, Indianapolis and Chicago to the north and Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile to the south. Nashville is bisected by I-40, an east-west freeway that also passes through cities including Asheville, Knoxville, Memphis, Little Rock and Oklahoma City. I-24 crosses the city from the northwest to the southeast, providing convenient travel from St. Louis, Chattanooga and Atlanta. s Points-of-Interest Maps: Maps outlining major interstate routes and roadways are available at no charge through the Nashville CVB’s Visitor Information Centers, located at the corner of Fifth and Broadway, in the tower of Sommet Center, and at the corner of Fourth and Commerce in the lower level of the US Bank building. s Downtown – Parking and Navigation: More than 28,000 parking spaces make it easy to bring a car downtown. Broadway, downtown’s main thoroughfare, bisects numbered avenues into north and south. Most corporate offices and government agencies are north of Broadway. s Buses: The Metro Transit Authority now provides hourly service between downtown and the airport seven days a week. Express trips take only 20 minutes, and local service takes 35 to 45 minutes. One-way fares between the airport and downtown are available for under $2. In town, MTA provides bus service in and out of downtown and throughout the city. All-day, unlimited-ride passes are available for $4.80. Music City Central, the new downtown transit station, is located at 400 Charlotte Ave., between Fourth and Fifth Avenues North. For more information, call (615) 862-5950, or go online at www.nashvillemta.org. s Taxis: Please refer to the list of taxi companies on page 103 in the Convention Suppliers section of this guide for phone numbers. Cabs are available from the taxi stand on the ground level of the airport. Nashville features a flat-fee service triangle between the airport, downtown and Gaylord Opryland® Resort. From point to point, taxi fares are currently set at $25 per cab for up to four passengers; within the triangle, charges should not exceed the flat-rate fare, which should be posted in the rear window of the taxi. For trips outside the triangle, consult the meter rates posted in the cab. Nashville’s taxicab drivers complete a training course sponsored by the Nashville CVB. For more information, contact the Metro Transportation Licensing Commission at (615) 862-6777.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY There’s always something new and exciting happening in Music City. Whether it’s a special exhibit, new dining and hotel choices, a major airport renovation or a billion-dollar investment in meeting facility infrastructure, Nashville continues to evolve. In addition to an expansive permanent collection, the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum features two blockbuster exhibits in 2009 – Family Tradition: The Williams Family Legacy and Kitty Wells: Queen of Country Music. The Williams exhibit, on display through the end of the year, explores the genius and legacy of Hank Williams Sr. Running through June, the Kitty Wells exhibit pays homage to the original “Honky-Tonk Angel.” Everyone knows Nashville is filled with stars – and now they are even easier to examine up close. The Adventure Science Center has recently completed a $20 million project that has transformed the Sudekum Planetarium into one of the nation’s premier spots for stargazing. The expansion increased the planetarium’s dome from 40 feet to 60 feet, added a new 12,000-square-foot interactive Sky and Space wing with three dozen original displays and more than 60 interactive stations.

No matter what the season, Music City has something to sing about. You will, too, when you take advantage of the special events scheduled throughout the year.
AUTUMN: FULL OUT FALL
SPRING: AWESOME APRIL There are simply so many events scheduled in April that the month can only be described as awesome! The GMA Dove Awards, CMT Music 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 full of fun events.
SUMMER: A COUPLE HOT ACTS The summer heats up with two big events in June and July. The CMA Music Festival pulls out all the stops in early June, when country’s hottest stars play their hottest hits on various downtown stages during the popular four-day festival. A month later, you can wish America happy birthday at the annual Music City July 4th: Let Freedom Sing! celebration at Riverfront Park. Ranked by AOL CityGuide as No. 2 in the nation, the all-day festival offers great food and live music along the banks of the Cumberland River.

In early November, fans around the country celebrate “Country Music’s Biggest Night� during the nationally televised CMA Music Awards. The annual event, held at the Sommet Center, brings together country’s hottest superstars for an evening of recognition and, of course, full out entertainment. The Music City Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place during CMA week, too.
WINTER: HOLIDAY HARMONY Come home for the holidays as Music City bids goodbye to another year in grand style with a full slate of cultural events, concerts, theatrical performances and historic celebrations.
