This is our short-list on Nashville. For more ideas and information, take a look at the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau and Tennessee's Official Travel Planning Web Site. The Convention and Visitors Bureau has an excellent site, and much of the information here has been taken, with permission, from them.

While you're at the conference, at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, please stop by the Southern Appalachian Chapter booth for help and information. We hope you have a great conference and that you enjoy your time in our city. If you have questions about the conference or about Nashville, please post to the SLA listserv.
