Wednesday Night Event
March 24, 2010: Climb the Charts!
Wednesday evening will begin with a refreshing selection of hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, accompanied by a chance to mingle with friends from conferences past. A catered dinner and dessert will perfectly complement the starters, but it doesn't stop there. We've lined up Nashville-born and nationally known comedian Keith Alberstadt to entertain you as only a true Southerner could. Try not to laugh hysterically: we dare you! And if that isn't enough, we'll top off the evening with our DJ who will climb the charts with you -- playing the greatest hits from the '70s through today while you bop the night away on the dance floor.
Comedian Keith Alberstadt grew up the son of a Vanderbilt professor and a craft artist. The result... a very clever comic with sharp perception, unmatched creativity, and a treasure trove of unique material. His likable personality and down-to-earth charm invite people into his brand of humor -- one that is smart but not brainy and relatable but not hacky. While performing, Keith takes pride in laughing at himself and his "inner dork," which he attempts to prove is something in all of us. Current events, popular trends, personal details... Keith shares his witty insight on everything, all the while doing it with a mischievous smile that quickly becomes infectious.
A regular performer for the U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Keith has been described as "absolutely hilarious" by Armed Forces Entertainment and "a hidden gem" by the Boston Globe. He's also a contributing writer for Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, National Lampoon and various online magazines. After you see his show, you'll understand why Keith is quickly breaking through the comedy ranks as a must-see performer!
Thursday Night Event
March 25, 2010: Kick Up Your Heels!
Plan to spend Thursday evening with hundreds of your new best friends at the world-famous Wildhorse Saloon: Nashville's #1 dining and entertainment destination! This three-level, 66,000-square-foot historic warehouse is known for being a live music and dance destination, but it simultaneously boasts a restaurant, bar, concert site, dance venue and TV studio. Our group has secured private use of the entire 3rd floor of the club, with plenty of tasty appetizers and mouthwatering dining choices, along with a dedicated bar, pool tables, dartboards and more! We'll also have unlimited access to the rest of the club, including live music, line dancing, and the largest TV screen in Nashville! This is a not-to-be-missed event!
