The venue and travel
The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is a world-class facility in the heart of Music City
Welcome to The Frist Center for the Visual Arts. The Frist Center, which originally opened in 1934 as Nashville’s downtown post office, not only houses masterworks, but is a masterpiece itself. An exceptionally elegant expression of Art Deco style, it’s not just a beautiful space, but a space in time. Sounds like a perfect facility for talking about tech, trends and credit unions! The convenient location is right at the edge of Nashville's downtown and 15 minutes from the Nashville International Airport.
Planning your trip
For those traveling by plane, there is no need to rent a car. The Holiday Inn Express and Union Station Hotel are both right next to The Frist, plus others within walking distance. Entertainment and dining options are also a short walk away. Grab a cab to and from the airport and you'll be set!
Special rate
The Holiday Inn Express has given us a great deal of $125 per night. This is $40 off the regular rate! Use this special link to get the deal or phone 1-877-443-7829 and request the "CU Water Cooler Symposium" block to make reservations.
