Many Kindred and Affiliate Groups will

Conference. In some cases, the events
are scheduled around events during the
Tuesday-Friday main conference schedule. Many
groups meet prior, so check

you plan your travel.
Getting to Know Nashville
Nashville's Gaylord Opryland Resort
provides us with a unique setting for the
conference. It's rare to find
so many features, dining options, shopping
venues, informal gathering places, spacious
meeting rooms, conveniently located exhibits,
along with all the services we've
come to enjoy from full-service resorts—all
under one roof. Nashville's
central location makes driving an option
for a large percentage of attendees. Discover
more about the hotel.
The resort is less than thirty minutes
from the Nashville Airport, making the
trip convenient. We hope you'll
plan a few extra hours here and there to
enjoy Nashville's many features and
attractions. Start planning your
trip today.
Check Out Current National Conference
Exhibitors
You can browse the exhibitor's
list online. Many vendors
have already reserved booth space, and
many more will be exhibiting at the conference.
Be a step ahead of the crowd, and make
the exhibit hall a familiar place to shop
before you even get to the conference!
