To encourage downtown merchants, downtown volunteers and City boards and commissions to attend, Downtown Hendersonville will hold our own mini/local version of the conference in several locations downtown that will have the opportunity to watch the sessions.
Keynote and plenary sessions will be held at the Downtown Program Offices at 125 5th Avenue W, upstairs from the public restrooms. Breakout sessions will be at City Hall, Downtown Offices, and at Mountain Page Press at 118 5th Avenue W (Across the street from public restrooms).
