Diversity Business Enterprise

The Convention Center Authority and Music City Center are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion by supporting Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County’s Equal Business Opportunity program and facilitating a Diversity Business Enterprise program.

Through the DBE program, Music City Center can provide technical assistance, resources, and guidance to small, minority-owned, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses interested in contracting with the convention center.

DBE businesses must meet established criteria and must be certified to be considered small, minority-owned, women-owned, and/or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Certifications must be submitted to Metro’s Business Assistance Office (BAO) to be eligible for DBE contracts.
