Since opening its doors in November 2016, The Expo Center has been the backdrop for countless agricultural, entertainment, festival, meetings, sports, wedding celebrations, and commercial events.

The Farm Bureau Exposition Center extends the invitation for meeting planners to “Meet in the Middle” and discover the hidden gem east of Nashville, TN and just twenty minutes from the Nashville International Airport.

This a great event space, and we had a good time raising money for Wilson Rides. Thank you for your hospitality!

Venue was immaculate. Staff were helpful and friendly. Meeting rooms ran cool. Recommend you dress warmly or take a wrap. Only real con on the day was projector screens were set so high you had constantly tilt your head back to view the PowerPoint. A day of that was exhausting. Otherwise, it's a great space for meetings.

First time being here for a Cheer competition. Venue/parking was small. Other than that it was really nice. Lots more kid friendly food options... Love that they had fruit! Prices for canned drinks were $3 😬 but food prices were reasonable!

This was a good spot for our BMW national rally. There was about 5000 bikers spread out all over the grounds and various buildings. The Farm Bureau is located near many hotels, restaurants, attractions, and motorcycle routes.

We went to Akiacon!!!! This beautiful building is perfect for just such as this!! Huge rooms where stages can be set up or vendor booths located!! Small rooms for panels or small group gatherings!! The restrooms were clean, always stocked, and easily accessible!! We enjoyed our visit immensely!!!

WilCo – short for Wilson County, Tennessee – loves visitors (that must be due to our southern hospitality roots). Whether you’re visiting one of our awesome events, enjoying our state parks, watching a locally produced theatrical show, browsing one of our many boutiques, or tasting out of this world cuisine, you will soon see why WilCo is near Nashville, but miles from ordinary!
