 *Please note: The Club Business Expo and all education sessions will take place at the Music City Center.

Due to the increasing demand for rooms in the CMAA room block and in a continued effort to keep attendee expenses low, the hotels listed above will require a non-refundable deposit of one night’s room and tax, to be charge to the card on file on February 2. Please note for any reservations cancelled in advance of this date there will be a $30 per reservation cancellation processing charge. This is a one-time fee for any cancelled reservation regardless of the time period in which they are cancelled.

Select the waitlist option when available on the booking website or contact ConferenceDirect at 844-572-7253 to inquire about waitlist availability. Please note that there are currently several dates where the hotels are sold out and, in that occurrence, a waitlist will not be available.

CMAA is actively working with ConferenceDirect and hotels in Nashville to add availability to our room block. However, CMAA is competing with several other meetings and conferences in Nashville at the same time. Please refer back to the booking website as it is updated in real time and will have the most accurate availability. In the meantime, you are encouraged to book at the hotel showing the largest majority of your desired stay and contact ConferenceDirect to modify your reservation should you need to add days or move hotels. Please note that availability changes often and CMAA cannot guarantee future availability.

We’d love to see you in Nashville and understand you may opt to book one of the many hotels in proximity to the Music City Center. Nashville is a small city that is easy to get around, so access to CMAA’s World Conference should still be convenient.
