Yes, children aged 2-16 must have a full conference registration to attend ISRI2023. Children not registered for the convention will only be given the opportunity to visit the Exhibit Hall after 2 p.m. each day. Children under the age of 18 must always be accompanied by a registered adult or guardian. Strollers are not permitted in the exhibit areas.

Yes, ISRI has negotiated discounted room rates with several conveniently located hotels near the convention center. Please visit the Hotels & Travel section and hotel map to choose the property best for you.

ISRI secured a limited number of rooms at hotels which are available on a first come first served basis and while supplies last. Reservations in this “ISRI block” are not guaranteed with convention registration nor required to attend. If the ISRI block is full on the days you are searching, please consider checking back as availability changes daily, contacting the hotels directly for availability at their standard rate, or reserving using a travel booking site such as www.hotels.com. Nashville has several hotels within a 4-block radius of the convention.

Discounted hotel rates have been negotiated exclusively for ISRI2023 Convention & Exposition registrants. To take advantage of the discounted rates, reservations must be made on or before March 10, 2023, using ISRI’s housing system https://isri2023.expotracker.net/housing

Prior to March 10, 2023, all changes or cancellations to your reservation must be made through ISRI’s housing service. After March 10, 2023, changes or cancellations must be made directly with the hotel you have selected.

As with list scams, beware of individuals offering assistance booking hotel rooms. Many of these offers are not legitimate and attendees who have used them have found themselves without reservations when they arrive at the event. The only authorized location for booking hotel rooms at the special ISRI rates is through the ISRI convention website at http://www.ISRI2023.org and our official housing system https://isri2023.expotracker.net/housing

A deposit equal to one night’s stay is required to hold your reservation. This amount will appear on your credit card statement on or about March 2023. If you cancel a reservation, the deposit will be refunded if the cancellation notice is received at least seven (7) days prior to arrival, and a cancellation number is obtained.

Fortunately, ISRI’s hotels and Music City Center are all located within a 3-block radius. Shuttle service is not needed or provided for the exhibit hall.

Depending on your citizenship, you many need a visa to travel to the United States to attend ISRI2023 Convention & Exposition.

Safety is a core value at ISRI. This applies equally to your operations and all ISRI2023 Convention & Exposition events. Following CDC guidance and requirements set forth by the State of Tennessee, masks are not currently required for individuals in indoor public spaces in Tennessee. ISRI will continue to monitor CDC and state guidelines and requirements and update this site accordingly.

Attire is business casual. We recommend bringing a light sweater or jacket in case the temperature in the convention center and exhibit hall is too cool for you. Closed toe shoes are required for individuals attending off-site manufacturing and yard tours.

You should wear your badge and carry a photo ID with you for all convention activities. Your badge allows event security to identify what events you are eligible to attend. Photo ID will be required at all ISRI-hosted events so you should always have it available.

Photography in the exhibit hall is limited. As a courtesy, please ask an exhibitor before taking photos of equipment and displays in their area. Photography is only allowed during the official open hours of the exhibit hall. Photography during set-up, breakdown, and after hours is strictly prohibited and can result in the loss of convention credentials.

Be aware of scams. ISRI does not sell attendee lists. Anyone claiming they have a list of attendees to this event and is selling it is not being truthful. If you are interested in seeing attendees, you can do so after registering by logging into the registration page and going to the Networking Center. ISRI Connect, the ISRI mobile app, will also have a list of attendees that will be available to those registered several weeks before the convention.
