Experience the show that made country music famous. During the Opry's years at the historic Ryman Auditorium, performers such as Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Ernest Tubb and Bill Monroe paved the way for entertainment icons including Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Bill Anderson. When the Opry left for its new home in 1974, it placed an 8-foot circle of hardwood from the Ryman center stage in the new venue, symbolizing an unbroken tradition. Today, the magic continues with stars such as Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Mel Tillis and Carrie Underwood as part of the Opry family. Thousands make pilgrimages to Nashville to see the live performances. Visit the Grand Ole Opry website for schedules and show times.

The pathway to becoming Chattanooga’s favorite DMC. If you want to know where we came from, we’re going to have to go all the way back to the year 2000 (yep, we’ve been around for a while!). That’s when our company was founded in Tennessee, but back then we were known as Specialty Planners International (SPI). Our primary focus was on meeting and corporate incentive travel planning. It wasn’t long before we moved our headquarters to the glittering lights of Las Vegas, where we worked with corporate clients traveling all over the globe – everywhere from El Salvador to San Francisco. We loved our time under Vegas’ bright neon colors, but in 2014 the hills of Tennessee called us home. After moving our corporate headquarters back to Middle Tennessee, we expanded our offerings to include all DMC services. We found that having our trifecta of offerings made us truly unstoppable – DMC services, meeting planning, and incentive travel all under one umbrella. Our clients were thrilled! We like to keep things fresh, so we soon decided it was time for another change. That’s when we rebranded into Connect Event Group. We felt our new name really encompassed exactly what we do. We connect groups of people through strategic events, meetings, and trips. Along with the new brand, we also moved our company headquarters to beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee. And the rest, as they say, is history. And that’s how we became the leading Chattanooga DMC!
