Explore Nashville, Tennessee



See recommendations and advance ticket purchases tailored to the ACNM Annual Meeting by the Nashville
Visitors Bureau, and discounts for Annual
Meeting attendees!

Nashville offers exciting attractions like the Grand Ole Opry House and the Parthenon, as well as the Country Music Hall of Fame, hundreds of live music venues, and delicious dining destinations. The Nashville Convention Center, where the ACNM 58th Annual Meeting will be held, is on Broadway in the heart of downtown-within walking distance to dining, shopping, attractions, the riverfront, and the famous (sometimes infamous!) Nashville nightlife.

The Convention Center isn't just close to the airport. The Hermitage, the expertly-restored plantation and former home of President Andrew Jackson, is easily accessible. You can also tap into the heart of the midwifery profession by visiting the compound that catalyzed the midwifery revolution in the United States: Ina May Gaskin's Farm and the Farm midwives.
