Join us in Louisville

Join ACP and CMA in one of “America’s Friendliest Cities!”

Louisville is home to iconic attractions you can’t experience anywhere else. Here you can bet on the ponies at Churchill Downs (home of the Kentucky Derby), get inspired at the Muhammad Ali Center, see the craftsmanship firsthand at the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, go back in time on the Belle of Louisville and more.

Louisville’s culinary scene is gaining national recognition too. With over 100 restaurants within walking distance of the Galt House Hotel, there is something to delight every taste.

After convention hours, you’ll feel right at home as you explore Louisville’s eclectic and charming neighborhoods.
