Nashville is gearing up to host a major industry convention next week, underscoring the city’s growing profile as a conference hub. The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) Annual Conference & Expo runs April 6-10 at the Music City Center and is expected to draw over 6,000 experts, innovators and industry leaders​. Billed as the world’s biggest corrosion engineering and materials science event, the expo will feature 600+ hours of technical sessions and a massive trade show floor spanning 300,000 square feet​. Organizers say attendees from around the globe will convene in Nashville to share cutting-edge research on infrastructure durability, from pipeline safety to bridge preservation. Local officials are preparing a warm welcome: downtown hotels and restaurants anticipate a bump in business as conference-goers arrive. “Events like this showcase Nashville’s ability to host large-scale professional gatherings,” a Convention & Visitors Corp spokesperson noted. In addition to the core conference, delegates can enjoy evening networking events with a dose of Music City flair. The AMPP expo’s arrival highlights Nashville’s diversification beyond music, as the city attracts conventions in fields ranging from education to technology. (Source: AMPP, Music City Center)
