Hotels

Please note: If you will be traveling by air, you will fly into Nashville International Airport, which is approximately 10-12 miles from the two hotels designated for the 2013 conference. The cheapest shuttle service to and from the airport is currently priced around $11-12 + tax/tip, although there are many other options listed through the website of the Nashville International Airport.

Both hotels are within walking distance of conference venues, and are within easy reach of a number of restaurants in the 21st Avenue and West End Avenue neighborhoods.
