Joining us in Nashville this October 2–4, 2025, for the 39th Annual Fall Conference on High Risk Obstetrics?
Make the most of your trip by immersing yourself in the vibrant music, culture, and hospitality of Nashville, Tennessee, while staying at the sophisticated Loews Nashville Hotel at Vanderbilt Plaza. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning for more, Music City offers a rich array of dining, entertainment, and sightseeing options to elevate your conference experience.
Weather
October in Nashville brings comfortable fall weather, with average highs in the low to mid 70s °F (21–24 °C) and lows in the mid‑50s °F (12–13 °C). We recommend packing layers—light clothing for the daytime, and a jacket or sweater for evenings and air‑conditioned meeting rooms.
Transportation
The closest airport is Nashville International Airport (BNA), located about 9 miles (15 minutes by car) from the hotel. Uber, Lyft, taxis, and rental cars are all readily available, and the hotel offers valet and self‑parking for overnight guests.
For a more economical parking option, Hayes Street Garage is located just a 4‑minute (0.2 mile) walk from the hotel and offers convenient self-parking at lower daily rates.
