- #3: RICHARD:Welcome! Im glad to have you aboard today. Today we will be highlighting the upcoming National Leadership Conference in Nashville. PBL starts June 24 and FBLA starts June 29. Please note that all information we are sharing today is on our website at www.fbla.org/2014NLC.To start, We all know that Nashville has very strong ties in the country music entertainment industry. It all started way back when at the Grand Ole Opry which is located next to the Opryland Resort.
- #4: RICHARD:The Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center is a huge and expansive convention hotel. A visit to Opryland is an adventure in itself. Its over 2,800 guest rooms are all connected via 3 atriums. Note: Although Opryland is enclosed in a glass dome that is temperature controlled , out side temperatures will be hot and humid so plan ahead for any activities when you plan to be outside..
- #5: RICHARD:The Resort is divided into 4 themed areas. When you get your room keys, you will note that they are color coded to match up with the 4 color themed areas of the map. Cascades - Teal, Conservatory - Green, Delta - Red, and Magnolia - Gold.The first thing we are going to cover is how can you get around the hotel. As you can see by the hotel map the resort is very spread out.Make sure you allow enough time to get from point A to point B. Walking time from your guest room to competitions, workshops, etc.The conference attire is Business. The Dress Code should be strictly follow for all conference activities. Casual events are the March of Dimes mini Walk, Final night social events. Comfortable shoes can be worn to get around the resort, but remember to bring your dress shoes with you for events.Dining at Opryland is also an adventure. They have many themed restaurants located in each Key area of Opryland; Further details on Opryland dining is posted on our web site. Located a short walk from Opryland is the Opry Mills outlet mall which also has restaurants and a food court. Resort transportation is also provided.
- #6: RICHARD:Now lets review the convention center of the resort.油油Its internally connected to the guest room areas and located on 3 levels. - The main level is the Ballroom area. - Above the ballroom area is the Mezzanine area of which there are 3. - Below the ballroom level is the Ryman Hall area which has meeting and exhibit space.
- #7: RICHARD:Now lets look closer at each of these areas. The Ballroom level consists of the Delta, Governor's, Presidential, and Tennessee Ballrooms.
- #8: RICHARD:The Mezzanine areas are Delta, Magnolia and Presidential. Please note that the 3 mezzanine areas are not connected and need to be accessed via the ballroom level.
- #9: RICHARD:The Ryman Studios and Ryman Ballroom are on the lower level. The RymanExhibit Hall B is where online testing and certification test are located. The Ryman Exhibit Hall C1-2 is where the FBLA General Session and Awards of Excellence will be held.
