While the days at the 2017 BOMA International Conference & Expo are spent in education sessions and networking, nights are for letting your hair down, channeling your inner country star, and tasting the best of Tennessee.

A live musical act, who had the entire BOMA crowd thinking it was the Charlie Daniels Band, stepped in to play “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.”
