RECAP: Intro Nashville April 2023 Session

The Nashville Chamber hosted another successful Intro Nashville program session earlier this month! Aimed at both newcomers and native Nashvillians to gain a behind-the-scenes look into our region, the Chamber’s Intro Nashville program included a treasure trove of information for residents of Middle Tennessee.

The program included three half days of programming that touched on all the unique characteristics of our region. The first day, titled “It” City?, explored our local economy by featuring leaders from a variety of key industries. Such industries included: music and entertainment, hospitality and tourism, healthcare, manufacturing and the finance industry. This day was graciously hosted by Vanderbilt University and the Convention and Visitor Corp.

The second day, titled Athens of the South, started at Hastings Architecture, previously home to the Nashville Public Library. Participants talked about our region’s education continuum and workforce. This was followed by a stop at the Nashville Ballet to discuss state, regional, and metro government.

This was followed by day four, Find Your Rhythm in Music City. The participants met at the National Museum of African American Music to discuss our local culinary scene, community involvement and cultural diversity. The day closed with a quick bus ride to the Mechanical Licensing Collective to learn more about our region’s sports landscape.

The program concluded with a Closing Reception featuring Former Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell. Mayor Purcell highlighted pivotal moments in Nashville’s history as he made mention of various landmarks that make our city special.  

Registration is currently open for the program sessions in June and August. Participant acceptance is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
