When Wells Fargo set out to host a one-of-a-kind welcome event for CardCon, they didn’t want just another ballroom soirée in downtown Nashville. They envisioned something more intentional—a private, immersive Tennessee experience that would leave their guests energized, inspired, and well-fed.
That vision came to life at Legacy Farms, our corporate event venue in Nashville.
A Night to Remember: Opening Night for CardCon
CardCon (the conference for credit card media, marketing, and influencers) kicked off in true Southern style at Legacy Farms, just outside the bustle of Nashville. With a guest list of 125 industry leaders, content creators, and executives, the evening was more than an event—it was an experience.
Hosted by Wells Fargo Autograph, this unforgettable opening night was planned in collaboration with four top-tier planners from across the country, each bringing their own regional flair and expertise to the table. Together, they worked with Legacy Farms’ experienced onsite team to execute a night full of southern charm, luxury hospitality, and bold entertainment.
