Nashville will bid to host 2024 Republican, Democratic National Conventions – By Melissa Brown (Nashville Tennessean) / December 27, 2021
Nashville will bid to host both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions for the upcoming 2024 election cycle.
Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. CEO Butch Spyridon said Monday it will bid on both conventions at the “request of and support from the Governor’s Office.”
“The NCVC’s primary role is to book convention business for Nashville without bias,” Spyridon said in an emailed statement. “We work daily with clients to book conventions and with individuals who want assistance in recruiting meetings and events. It’s not appropriate for the NCVC to pick and choose which groups get to meet in Nashville.”
NCVC confirmed Monday it submitted a response to the Republican National Committee’s request for proposals on Dec. 8, and requested an RFP from the Democratic National Committee on Nov. 2.
