NCVC Media 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.

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

Do you have high-res photography I can use?
