SUMMARY:"Global Nashville" | Guest Host Ralph Schulz with Convention and Visitor Chief Butch Spyridon
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council \n\n\n\nin association with \nBelmont University Center for International Business and the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce \nGlobal Nashville\nGuest Host Ralph Schulz in Conversation with Butch Spyridon\nA conversation about Nashville’s “global brand” and the importance of tourism in building international bridges. \n \nButch Spyridon\, President/CEO\, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. \n \nRalph Schulz\, President/CEO\, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce \n\n\nAugust 31\, 2021 @ 7 pm CT\n\n\n\n\n“Global Nashville” | Guest Host Ralph Schulz with Butch Spyridon\, Nashville Visitor Leader\n \nThe metrics were clear before the pandemic crushed global hospitality. Nashville and Tennessee were experiencing a boom in the tourism sector. The #1 leisure destination in the United States\, according to Global Traveler’s Leisure Lifestyle Awards. Reader’s Choice Award for Best Cities in the U.S.\, according to Conde Nast. A record-high $23 billion in visitor spending in the state in 2019 and trending higher\, according to the U.S. Travel Association. Travel in Tennessee generated 195\,000 jobs and $1.92 billion in state and local tax revenue — saving Tennesseans in costs for public services. \nNashville’s attraction to visitors is global. The daily attraction of world-class music venues\, cultural activities\, sporting events and more\, not to mention the city’s mega-events are magnets for foreign visitors. Among the main industries that drive the economy\, tourism is emblematic of international outreach and bridge building among the tens of thousands of foreign visitors who come to Tennessee and Nashville. \nThe Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. web site says it all: \nMusic is the universal language. Nashville – where music is inspired\, created\, recorded and performed. Music City is ready to be explored. Experience more music\, food\, and fashion than ever before. All are welcome to Music City! \nJoin us on August 31st at 7pm for our discussion\, and your questions\, as Nashville’s Chamber President Ralph Schulz asks Nashville’s visitor majordomo\, Butch Spyridon\, about the health of the region’s hospitality industry and the contribution of tourism to Nashville’s brand. \n\n\nButch Spyridon\nPresident/CEO\, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation (NCVC)\n\nButch Spyridon has served as president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation (NCVC) since 1991. Under his leadership\, Nashville’s hospitality industry has evolved from an industry largely based on theme park and summer leisure travel\, to a year-round destination for convention\, business and leisure visitors. Hospitality’s evolution has made it the city’s second largest industry and elevated annual revenues to $4 billion. \nSpyridon has guided the industry through many challenging times. In the early 1990s\, Branson\, Missouri’s budding music draw put an undo public relations pressure on Nashville\, long-known has a haven for country music talent. Spyridon and the industry collaborated throughout the challenge by embracing the city’s diverse music community and growing its profile as a meeting destination. \nIn the decade following\, Spyridon would lead the industry through the closing of Nashville’s famed Opryland theme park\, a devastating downtown tornado\, and the national tragedy of 9-11. With each challenge\, Spyridon and the industry seized the opportunity to assess\, examine\, and plan ahead for growth.  And with each challenge Nashville emerged as a better destination and recovered quicker than its peer markets. \nThat planning prompted Spyridon and the NCVC to develop new and innovative marketing strategies to grow sales\, including establishing city-wide events like Nashville’s July 4th and New Year’s Eve celebrations. Spyridon also worked within the community to transform signature events\, such as the CMA Music Festival\, making them more appealing to a wider audience and increasing their capacity to host more visitors. \nIn 2006\, Spyridon spearheaded Nashville’s first-ever\, city-wide branding initiative to grow the image of Nashville as Music City. In support of the initiative\, Spyridon and the NCVC created “Heroes Behind the Hits\,” a monthly show on Sirius XM Radio featuring Nashville songwriters\, established the Music City Walk of Fame\, and developed a multi-faceted Live Music Venue campaign. Initiatives such as these have helped to keep Nashvillein the top 25 hotel markets nationwide. \nSpyridon most recently championed the construction of the Music City Center\, new downtown convention center and headquarter hotel. The $585 million facility and adjacent Omni Hotel are scheduled to open in 2013. \nThroughout his career Spyridon has served on the boards of Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI) and Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA). He’s also been active in the local community\, serving on the boards of the Adventure Science Center\, Nashville Hotel and Lodging Association\, the Downtown Partnership\, the Music City Bowl\, the Museum of African American Music Art and Culture\, and Conservancy of the Parthenon and Centennial Park. \nSpyridon’s achievements have garnered numerous awards and accolades including Nashville Sales Executive of the Year Award\, the President’s Award from Meeting Professionals International\, and the Stephen Foster Award from Nashville Songwriters Association International and the Community Leader Award from the Tennessee MPI Chapter. \nA native of Pascagoula\, Mississippi\, Spyridon graduated fromVanderbilt University with a B.A. in Business Administration. After serving as manager of Travel and Conventions Department at the Mobile Chamber of Commerce\, and as Executive Director of the Baton Rouge Area Convention & Visitors Bureau\, Spyridon returned toNashville where he has served as CEO for the last 20 years. \nSpyridon is a graduate of the Institute of Comparative Political and Economic Systems at Georgetown University. \nRalph Schulz\nPresident/CEO\, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce \nRalph Schulz was named president and CEO of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce by the Chamber’s board of directors in November 2006\, following a 30-year career in nonprofit management\, marketing and fundraising.
