Baseball Winter Meetings Returning to Nashville in 2012

Minor League BaseballST. Petersburg, FL — The Gaylord Opryland Resort will once again serve as the host of the Baseball Winter Meetings™ in 2012. It will mark the sixth time that the annual gathering of professional baseball club and league executives will be held in Nashville. Opryland previously hosted the Baseball Winter Meetings in 1983, 1989, 1998, 2002 and 2007.

The Baseball Trade Show™ and the Professional Baseball Employment Opportunities Job Fair will also be held on site during the convention, from December 3rd -6th, 2012.

“Nashville, and the Opryland Hotel, have long been effective meeting spots for baseball,” Pat O’Conner, Minor League Baseball President, said.

“As the city and property continue to recover from the floods of 2010, we are proud to confirm our commitment to conduct the 2012 Baseball Winter Meetings at Opryland. The extraordinary spirit exhibited in Nashville, as it works through the arduous flood recovery, is exactly why we feel so confident in holding our most important meetings in the Music City.”

The 2010 Baseball Winter Meetings will be held at The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort near Orlando, FL, from December 6th – 9th.  The Swan and Dolphin Resort also hosted the Baseball Winter Meetings in 2006.
