Since they can't hold it this summer (simply not enough time), any convention in Tennessee would be next summer... at least 12 months away. I've never been there, but suspect that winters aren't very enjoyable: mild but snow on the ground. Right now it should be dawn in Nashville and weather.com says that with the windchill it feels like 29 degrees farenheit (below freezing)... so I don't think we want to visit in January!
