Nashville
June 11 - 14, 2022 (4D3N): I was excited when I learned I’d be speaking at the APPA conference in Nashville, meaning I would get to visit the Music City. Little did we know, we were there during CMA 2022, which meant downtown was packed with crowds and music. I had to set aside one day for the conference, but you can easily visit all the sights in Nashville in under three days. Don’t forget to snap a photo in front of the Parthenon (yep, you are still on the Nashville page)!
