WordCamp US 2017 will be held at Music City Center, 201 Fifth Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203. Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, Music City Center is home to a covered parking garage and is directly on several Nashville MTA bus routes.
Music City Center is able to boast its 2.1 million square foot presence in the heart of Nashville. With its downtown location, visitors find themselves just steps away from Nashville’s many offerings.

The art pieces include a mixture of paintings, suspended pieces, new media, mosaics, and light works that can be observed throughout the building.
