2020 National Convention - Nashville, TN

Come join us in Nashville and help celebrate our 12th Annual National Convention!


MOVED TO MARCH 11-14 2021.


This convention is presented by the NBTSG, which is a member owned 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, for the benefit of the Guild Members but it is open for non-members to attend. Join your fellow sharpeners and attend sharpening training from world class educators. There will be an extensive vendor room plus a chance to certify. Top scores from certification will see their name on the perpetual Sharpeners Guild trophy. 


We have more certified sharpeners and industry experts teaching more topics than any other sharpening event.


SEATING IS LIMITED TO 75 PEOPLE SO REGISTER EARLY.  ONLINE REGISTRATION COMING SOON.


Guild members receive special membership pricing for workshops, certification and general admission. You do not need to certify to be a member. JOIN NOW 



GENERAL ADMISSION includes Saturday & Sunday vendor room access; Saturday presentations; Saturday & Sunday catered lunches; Saturday catered reception & costume party; Sunday Guild Centers; and Sunday catered awards banquet dinner. 


General admission registration is required to participate in the certification exams on Saturday but is not required to attend the Guild Workshops on Thursday or Friday.



Location

Radisson Hotel Nashville Airport

1112 Airport Center Dr. - Nashville, TN 37214


Special convention rates for standard king and standard double are $145 per night plus local taxes and fees. Room rates are valid before and after the convention so you can come early and stay later to check out everything that Nashville has to offer.  Use group code NBTS for reservations to get this special rate.  Call the hotel directly at 615-889-9090 and use code NBTS.  Special rate expires August 1st.


The hotel offers complimentary 24 hour shuttle service to and from the Nashville International Airport, complementary high speed internet access throughout the hotel, and complimentary guest parking.  


Come see their newly renovated guest rooms! Renovations to the lobby, restaurant, lounge and meeting rooms were completed in June 2019.
