We have a special Thursday night planned: we will be visiting the Bluebird Cafe for a night of "In the Round" musical entertainment (and dinner).

Shuttle buses will run from the 3 conference hotels (Days Inn Vanderbilt, Courtyard by Marriot Vanderbilt, and Loews Vanderbilt Plaza) and return you to these hotels after the show.

Opened in 1982 as a casual restaurant with some live music, the Bluebird Cafe has become a music club first and restaurant second. It has gained a reputation worldwide for presenting the best original acoustic music seven nights a week. An important part of the Bluebird tradition is the "In the Round" format. Four talented writers sit in a circle and share songs, stories, and inspiration. The audience is given a unique opportunity to hear great original material from four different points-of-view in a casual, comfortable environment.
