Pigeon Forge, one of the South's top family vacation destinations, is also being discovered as a perfect location to hold a meeting or convention. Time after time, meeting planners have mentioned to our staff that they are amazed at all the things to do in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and how their attendees absolutely love to hold their conventions in the city. Historically, Music Road Hotel staff have seen first-hand that new conventions planned for the city experience a 10% to 20% attendance growth over previous years. It comes as no surprise to us. The family atmosphere combined with the hundreds of things to do, encourages spouse and family attendance. A central location is also a big factor to a convention's success, and with two-thirds of the nation's population east of the Mississippi River living within a day's drive of Pigeon Forge, meetings become a "drive to" event. Meetings planned outside the traditional tourism season can also realize a real value for attendees used to paying "downtown, big city" hotel prices. Our repeat group business attests to the popularity of Pigeon Forge and Music Road Convention Center. More than 60% of the groups meeting each year with us, have been here before, some as long as 8 years. They make us their "annual meeting home", and grow their assocoation along the way. Discover the excitement of the Smoky Mountains by holding a meeting with us in the future. But plan ahead, as Music Road Convention Center fills up fast!
