Stay at the Host Hotel and Save

This year’s host hotel is the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center—just minutes from downtown Nashville and steps from the Grand Ole Opry. Book through our official Imaging USA Travel Page to access the discounted group rate:

• Standard Rooms: $219++ per night
• Premium Rooms: $279++ per night

Resort Fee Includes:

• In-room Wi-Fi (up to 6 devices)
• Shuttle service to local attractions
• 2 bottled waters daily
• Access to Gaylord Springs Golf Links + gear

The booking deadline for the group rate is Thursday, December 11, 2025!

When booking your hotel, be sure to log on and book your room via desktop, rather than your mobile. In order to access the discounted hotel rate, you must go through Imaging USA's Travel Page to access specialized links for each of the hotels. If you don't book through the links provided on the Travel Page, you won't get the discount and you'll likely receive a message that the hotel rooms are "sold out." Don't worry! Head back to the Imaging USA travel page and book via the link for the Gaylord or Embassy Suites!

One last reason for booking at the Imaging USA Host Hotels is that by doing so, you'll also help us keep our registration fees down! When Imaging USA meets the required minimum guest room in the hotel contract registration fees for the conference remain low. Help us keep costs low and stay at the host hotels!
