Background

About Eddie Canaday

I have over 30 years of thorough experience in sales, marketing, public relations, and leadership roles. As the Director, National Accounts, I manage various accounts in all market segments (both vertically and horizontally) in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia locations. Nashville is home to Music City Center, which is a 1.2 million square-foot convention center, with over hotel rooms within the county and over hotel rooms with the Nashville MSA. In my downtime, I love focusing on my own personal health, fitness, and nutrition in general. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Travel Industry Management with a concentration in Tourism Planning and Promotion from Concord College, which is now Concord University.
