Rich Crawford asked to share the below:
The 2023 AFNA National Conference will be held at The Sheraton Grand Downtown, Nashville TN. from August 27th to 30th (Sunday – Wednesday). The hotel is offering a conference rate of $207 per night plus tax which is the current government per diem rate in Nashville; no other venue came close to this offer.
The hotel is a great venue and is located within easy walking distance of most of Nashville’s attractions, as well as great restaurants and bars with live entertainment. Go on the hotel’s website https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/bnand-sheraton-grand-nashville-downtown/overview/ and take the virtual tour of the property. Our welcome reception on Sunday evening will be in the Sky Restaurant and Bar which is on the top floor and is a circular, glass enclosed restaurant with 360 degree views of the city. The hotel will be offering the conference rate for two days pre and two days post conference dates based on availability (so, make your reservations early, it doesn’t cost anything). Reservation link available soon.
We are trying to negotiate a reduced parking rate, but we are encouraging people to skip the rental cars as the hotel’s location really makes a car unnecessary.
This year marks DEA’s 50th Anniversary and we are working hard to make this conference a most memorable event.
More details to follow as we work on getting you a hotel reservation link, conference registration link, and agenda.
