2009 CPPC Convention

Doubletree Hotel – Nashville Downtown

October 4th - 6th, 2009

Information

LOCATION
Doubletree Hotel – Nashville Downtown is the sight for the 2009 CPPC Convention. The hotel is only 10 minutes from the airport and is within walking distance of many attractions downtown, including “The District”, which houses many Honky Tonks, BB Kings, The Wildhorse Saloon and the Country Music Hall of Fame. All events of the Convention will take place in the hotel itself, with the exception of an optional Monday Night Outing or the Sunday Golf Scramble. It is a recently remodeled property with all the latest amenities. The Hotel does have dining on the property and a Starbucks in their lobby for added convenience.

HIGHLIGHTS
Our goal continues with this event to provide educational opportunities to all our members, while still allowing them sufficient time to network amongst themselves. We will continue again with this event having a strong focus on the military sector of our industry. Recent and continuing changes make it a viable factor for us to follow. This time we will split the membership during this section of the session to allow for more specialized topic agenda within this subject matter. We have re-dedicated our focus on any New Members in attendance to make sure they feel welcome and have guidance in meeting other members and understanding the value our organization can provide them.  And as always, there will be plenty of time to ask questions throughout the event either in an open session or one-on-one to our Board or other members. This event does start off with an opening reception on Sunday night.  We have included an optional Monday night outing again this year as they have proved very popular in the past.

Non-Registered Guests can attend the Sunday Night Welcome Reception for a small additional charge without actually attending the meetings.  This information is available on the registration form.
