About Nashville
• “Many movies have been made about Nashville. Enough books about Music City have been written to fill a bookcase. And, of course, scores of songs are dedicated to the city of music. But, while music is the lifeblood of Nashville, visitors will also find here a city of culture and history, of haute cuisine, of pro sports, outstanding academics, natural beauty and pure Southern charm. Nashville is a place where the past and the future peacefully coexist and build, one on the other, to create a destination that appeals to the interests of every visitor. This city is alive. You can feel its pulse when you walk down its sidewalks. And, fortunately, you can also hear it almost anywhere you go.” (from the Nashville Convention & Visitor’s Bureau website)

We think we have put together a terrific conference, we need your help to move the national RxP agenda forward, and we very much look forward to being your hosts at a conference which we plan to be a “don’t-miss-it” event!
Here’s hoping to see you all in Nashville in February!
