WHAT TO WEAR
In July, Nashville experiences an average daily high of 89 degrees and an average daily low of 70 degrees. That said, the interior of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center is typically 71 degrees. With everything attendees need located under one roof, including ten unique restaurants, attendees are suggested to wear business casual attire during the duration of the event and to all related events unless otherwise noted. All attendees are also advised to bring a sweater or light jacket since temperatures in meeting rooms will vary. We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes for walking the convention center and exhibit hall.
