Hotel Information
Opening Fall 2013! - The Omni Nashville Hotel - The Key to Music City!
The Omni Nashville Hotel, specially created to be an authentic expression of Nashville's vibrant music culture, will open in the fall of 2013. Across from the new Music City Center which will open earlier in 2013, the luxury hotel will be a one-of-a-kind experience, fully integrated with an expansion of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum® on four levels.
Located on Fifth Avenue between Demonbreun and Korean Veterans Blvd., the Omni Nashville Hotel design is a modern expression of the city's distinct character, incorporating natural materials, exposed steel and regional limestone. The multi-story hotel and expanded museum will share meeting and entertainment space and bring additional restaurants and retail venues to this dynamic destination in downtown Nashville.
Registration & Payment Information
Because we have a new automated registration system and membership portal even our current members need to create a password in order to to pay their dues and register online for the Annual Meeting.
With that in mind, when logging on to the system for the first time, please remember even if you are already a SEPA Member you must click retrieve password.
Furthermore, you will need to skip the password blank at the time you reset. Then you will be directed to enter your own password and user name/email address.
In addition, once logged on the initiation date refers to when the new system opened not when you initially joined SEPA.
Online Registration and Payment (opens in new window)
The login for the SEPA automated registration system and the SEPA electronic submission system (ESS) do not interface. When submitting your proposal you must log on again as a new user or use your email address and password from last year. I apologize for the inconvenience and wish you the best of luck with your submission.
