Explore Music City at Our New Convention Website

We’re excited to share that the 2025 OADN Annual Convention website is now live. You can browse the evolving program, preview featured sessions, and start planning your experience in Nashville, Tennessee.

The 2025 Convention is in the *heart* of Music City. As exciting as the convention floor and breakout rooms will be, there’s so much to explore in Nashville. Whether you’ve got a full evening or just an hour between events, Nashville delivers big on live music, outdoor escapes, and unforgettable food — all within minutes of the Renaissance Nashville Hotel, our Convention venue.

Sound On: Live Music, Everywhere

The Renaissance is just steps from these amazing spots:

• Walk to Broadway for honky-tonks like Tootsie’s and Robert’s Western World (live music, no cover).
• Catch an acoustic set at The Listening Room for a more intimate vibe, just a 5 minute drive away.
• Want a legendary venue? The Ryman Auditorium is a must (and a short walk too!)

Even just walking down the street, you’ll hear music pouring out of every door. No ticket needed.

Quick Outdoor Escapes

Need a break between sessions? It’s just a 10-minute walk to the river waterfront. Have more time? Take a walk across the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge for skyline views.

Want a longer break? Percy Warner Park is a 20-minute ride from downtown and perfect for a scenic hike.

Eat Like a Local

Nashville’s food scene is big and bold. Try hot chicken at Hattie B’s at the Assembly Food Hall next door to the Renaissance. Assembly has plenty of options for local favorites, great rooftop views, and live music all in one place.

For upscale Southern fare, book a table at The Southern or Etch.

So many options! Browse through some great local restaurants at the Convention website’s local attractions page.

Whether you’re squeezing in a quick adventure or planning a full evening out, Nashville has plenty to offer when you step outside our Convention rooms. Live a little between the meetings — you’re in Music City, after all. We can’t wait to see you in Nashville!
