The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Smyrna is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 17,137 seats, at Starwood Amphitheatre.
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Arrival logistics
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is 22 km (14 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on Chicago time (America/Chicago). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Murfreesboro, Nashville and Franklin are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Smyrna has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Smyrna dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
The city is smaller than the market
60,302 people live in Smyrna itself, but about 2.2 million live in the wider Nashville-Davidson--Murfreesboro--Franklin, TN. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
