Travel & Planning Considerations 

🕜  Arrival & Departure Times:  See the agenda for specific start and end times. If you are flying, please book flights that allow you to be fully present for all sessions. We are about 10 miles from the airport (it is typically a 15 - 30 minutes drive depending on traffic), so please book your flights accordingly.

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

🏨  Local 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, and snacks/drinks. In addition, there will be an optional lunch and Q&A with a panel of Valor students. Please bring a refillable bottle for water.

🚗  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! Arrival traffic at the schools is heaviest from 7:15 - 7:55am.
