Night Out at Vanderbilt

Take a break from sessions with a night out under the stars on the beautiful Vanderbilt University campus. The university is only 10 minutes from the conference center but you’ll imagine it is miles away. Join your fellow delegates and Vanderbilt leaders for food, conversation, and lively entertainment in the center of the university’s historic campus and famous arboretum, home to over 6,000 trees and shrubs. Bring your dancing shoes (or boots) to line dance the night away. You won’t want to miss this spectacular evening in Nashville. More details to come. (Cost: $75.00)
