Nashville Exhibit Hall livelier than ever O n August 16th through 18th, Exhibit Halls C and D at the Music City Center became the setting for the biggest and most vibrant show of correctional technology, services and information in the country as the American Correctional Association’s Congress of Correction held its annual exhibit hall.

Demonstrations continued for all three days the exhibit hall were open and were well attended. All kinds of correctional technology and sup plies were on display including transportation options, commissary choices and many types of infrastructure for facilities. The next chance for corrections professionals to take in the exhibit hall experience will come in Orlando in January of 2025. CT

Over 300 exhibitors were arrayed in wide aisles across the vast Music City Center indoor space. A spacious lounge in the center of the hall gave conference goers a place to rest and recharge after seeing the vast quantity of correctional technol ogy on display. “I learned so much just talking with the exhibi tors,” said one conference attendee. “I learned so many new ways to solve problems I’m having.”
