Vanderbilt University Conferences and Events

From its founding in 1873, Vanderbilt University has forged a tradition of academic excellence infused with a unique spirit of collaboration and collegiality. Our mission lies in the quest to bring out the best in humanity—pushing new ideas into the frontiers of discovery, challenging the limits of what’s possible and working diligently in the service of others. Vanderbilt is situated in Nashville, Tennessee, the hub for several booming industries, the home to a global community, and “America’s friendliest city” according to Travel + Leisure magazine. Combining history and hospitality with diverse culture and growth, Tennessee’s capital is an international destination for the arts and entrepreneurship, and serves as a center for scholarship and innovation. From its 330 acre parklike campus (that’s actually an accredited arboretum) to its world class LEED-certified research and meeting facilities, Vanderbilt University is the ideal location to host your next conference or event.
