TRAVEL & PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

• 🕜 Arrival & Departure Times:  Please book flights that allow you to be fully present for all sessions. Plan to arrive at the Compass Center no later than 8:45 am CT on Wednesday September 17th & book a return flight leaving no earlier than 5:30 pm Central time on Friday September 19th. 

• 🏫 Location: All sessions will take place at the Valor Compass Center which is located at 4523 Nolensville Pk, Nashville, TN 37211. 

• ⚪ Engagement & Presence: As you prepare for this event please let your colleagues know that you will not be accessible during core sessions. Compass Camp is an active training experience and requires your full attunement to maximize learning. Please note that during sessions, all participants are directed to put personal devices such as phones and laptops away to avoid distractions and to be fully "dropped-in" and present.

• 🏨 Lodging: When planning your travel please consider that the Compass Center is located in the South Nashville neighborhood and close to Brentwood, TN. If you are looking for specific local recommendations as you plan your trip, please review our Visitor Guide.  

• 🍽️ Meals: We will provide breakfast, coffee, snacks/drinks, and lunch on all 3 days of the training. You will be on your own for dinner each evening, please review our Visitor Guide for recommendations. 

• 🧥 Dress Code: We want you to feel comfortable and at ease throughout your time with us. The Compass Center is often kept on the cooler side to balance the Southern humidity, so we recommend packing a sweater or an extra layer to stay cozy indoors. On Thursday evening, we’ll head off-site for a casual social event—feel free to dress for a relaxed evening out. That said, no part of the experience will require formal or elevated attire. Come as you are, and dress in whatever helps you stay present and engaged.

• 🚗 Daily Travel to the Compass Center: Once in Nashville if you are relying on Uber/Lyft we recommend pre-scheduling your rides to ensure you arrive on time each day with plenty of time for breakfast!
