Franklin, Tennessee’s
Downtown Convention Campus
Designed for Extraordinary Meetings
Historic downtown Franklin is a beautiful 16-block stretch of local shops, restaurants, coffeehouses, and attractions that has been designated a “Great American Main Street” and continually earns national recognition each year. The downtown campus offers 39 unique locations with meeting space, along with a 119-room boutique hotel that anchors the area.
Conference planners have the opportunity to host keynote sessions in larger venues like the historic Franklin Theatre or History & Culture Center, and then move to breakout sessions, lunches, or receptions at various walkable locations throughout the downtown district. Doesn’t this sound a little-okay, a LOT more fun than your typical hotel ballroom?
