Diane Bies

I spent 18 years working for Marriott and in my last role I was the Director of Events at Gaylord Opryland. I oversaw a team of 70 employees including the catering team. The events team had an annual revenue stream of a $100 million dollars.

            Currently, I am in the Manager of Meetings and Travel at HCA Healthcare. We have 10,000 meetings a year from 10 people to 500 people.  HCA has five corporate buildings downtown with 80,000 square feet of meeting space. We work with many local vendors for catering, décor and production.
