"I always bring something back to the table that enriches our club."

The evenings of the convention provide various opportunities for attendees to interact with colleagues and vendors. Wednesday night's Welcome Reception and Exhibits includes cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, networking and the first chance to visit the exhibit hall. Thursday night is a special event at the famous Wildhorse Saloon, one of Nashville's most popular dining and entertainment destinations. The last night of the convention is the President's Evening, a black-tie optional event with dinner and dancing.

The tradeshow features exhibitors representing a variety of hospitality products and services. There are dedicated tradeshow hours and an added opportunity to earn CPE credits by attending exhibitor tutorials.
