Staff

The Public Relations staff is here to answer your questions and assist you in any way we can. While we do not provide transportation around the city, we can help with appointments at attractions. NCVC schedules permitting, a representative can meet with you while you're in town to answer any questions.

To initiate assistance, please provide us with a letter of assignment and/or clippings prior to your visit. These credentials help us determine whether Nashville is a perfect travel destination for your publication.

QUESTIONS

Helping
you
tell
Nashville's
story—one
question
at
a
time!

Do you have high-res photography I can use?

Yes, you can contact us with details of what you need. The Nashville CVC cannot approve photo requests for advertising materials, real estate promotions, or commercial use. The images are strictly for editorial purposes to accompany an article about the area or promote an upcoming meeting or convention to be held in Nashville.

Request Access

Do you have b-roll video footage?

Yes. The CVC has stock footage available for broadcast editorial purposes or to promote an upcoming meeting or convention in Music City. If you’d like to use the footage, please contact us. 

Request Access

Do you provide media assistance to traveling journalists?

Yes. The Nashville CVC receives numerous requests from journalists seeking assistance. For help in arranging a trip please contact us. Please note that complimentary and media rate arrangements are at the discretion of the host and may not be available. Unfortunately, we cannot provide airfare nor can we pay for ground transportation or meals.

Does the CVC offer press trips?

The Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp offers four domestic group press tours each year. The CVC contracts with Geiger & Associates Public Relations to coordinate these tours and to qualified journalists. Traditionally, we offer a late summer tour in August and a fall tour in October or November. In the spring, we typically offer a tour in April and May. If you would like to find out if your publication demographics match our requirements, please contact Tori Cuddy with Geiger & Associates:
