Dear Surety Friends,
I am thrilled to invite you to the NASBP 2025 Annual Meeting & Expo that will be held April 27 - 30 at the JW Marriott Nashville in downtown Nashville, TN. This is the first time “Music City” has hosted the NASBP Annual Meeting and we are expecting record turnout.
As President, my vision is to foster collaboration and innovation. Leading up to and during the Annual Meeting, you will hear me talk much about the NASBP strategic plan, NASBP Vision 2028, which includes the following platforms: advocacy, technology, membership, and education. All of which are the foundation of my theme, “Backing Our Future.”
Co-Chairs Dedi Belis and Tyler McIntyre, along with the entire 2025 Annual Meeting Program Committee, have strived to put together an event with valuable session content to keep you informed of what is in the present and future of the industry, as well as unique social events that will allow additional networking opportunities. Please take a moment to review the Preliminary eBrochure to view what is planned.
We will officially kick off the meeting on Sunday evening with an outdoor welcome reception at the JW Marriott Nashville. And this year will continue the city location format of a Tuesday afternoon social event (in lieu of a Golf Event) where attendees can team up for a Cornhole Tournament. This Tournament will be complimentary for all registered attendees and their registered spouses/guests and will feature refreshments and snacks, heated competition, and prizes.
The Tuesday night final event will be hosted just off Nashville’s famous Broadway at the newly renovated honkytonk, “Category 10,” owned by country music star Luke Combs. This multi-level venue features a large, live music hall, quiet bourbon bar, state of the art sports bar, and more. This event is not to be missed.
Now is the time to register and secure your hotel accommodations. NASBP has room blocks at three hotels; the JW Marriott Nashville, and two hotels directly across the street for convenience. We’ll keep you informed with periodic updates as we get closer to the event.
Krista and I are looking forward to seeing you in April!
Best Regards,
Zach Mendelson
NASBP President
