Room Seating/Capacity Policy
Be sure to allocate enough time to get to your preferred sessions. Seating in all sessions is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we encourage you to arrive early to secure a seat in those sessions.
Several of our sessions are very popular, and we have made every effort to accommodate all pre-registrations. To ensure adequate seating, we ask that you attend those sessions you pre-registered for. If you alter your itinerary, which you may do at any time, please select perimeter seating in those sessions, in consideration of those attendees who pre-registered.

Last But Not Least!
- It's looking to be quite hot and potentially a little wet while we're in Nashville, with highs in the 90s. But that doesn't mean the hotel won't get chilly. Be sure to bring a layer in case you're in a cold room.
- Looking for fun things to do? Nashville is flush with entertainment, history, culture, and food and booze! Be sure to take some of it in. Learn more about what Nashville has to offer here.
