About This Show
AI-drafted summaryMaximoWorld is the flagship annual conference for the global community of IBM Maximo, TRIRIGA, and enterprise asset management (EAM) professionals. Organized by Reliabilityweb, it brings together maintenance, reliability, and asset management practitioners, IBM experts, and solution providers to share strategies for improving reliability, uptime, and asset performance.
The 2026 edition takes place in Nashville, Tennessee. Attendees include those who manage assets, maintain uptime, and support reliability with IBM Maximo across sectors such as energy, utilities, transportation, life sciences, higher education, and defense.

As one description of the event puts it, it is a professional home base where everyone speaks the same language and understands the daily pressures, complex integrations, version upgrades, and business demands that Maximo users face. Attendees leave with proven strategies, practical shortcuts, real-world insights, and a network of peers.

Venue & Travel
Venue
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
2800 Opryland Drive
The Gaylord Opryland is one of the largest non-casino resorts in the country and a destination in its own right. The sprawling 9-acre property is home to three tropical, plant-filled glass-roofed atriums with shops, restaurants and entertainment centers, and one atrium features an indoor river offering boat tours of the gardens. The resort has more than 750,000 square feet of meeting space, with its largest venue able to hold 10,000 guests. On-site amenities include the SoundWaves water park, a full-service spa, and numerous dining venues — the resort offers 17 on-site dining options ranging in cuisine and style. All APMA educational sessions and official events take place at the Gaylord.
Parking
On-site parking at the resort is available for a daily fee. Self-parking is $37 plus tax and valet is $50 plus tax; the resort also charges a resort fee of $28 plus tax. Many guests prefer to park for free at the Opry Mills Mall next door, and it is a short walk over to the Delta Portico entrance. Rates are subject to change, so confirm current pricing with the hotel.
Getting There
The nearest airport is Nashville International Airport (BNA). The resort is about 8 miles from Nashville International Airport, and roughly a 10-minute drive from the airport. The Gaylord offers a paid airport shuttle (reservation required), and the resort fee includes a complimentary scheduled shuttle to nearby attractions such as the Grand Ole Opry, General Jackson Showboat, and Opry Mills. Rideshare and taxis are readily available, and WeGo Transit buses serve the area, though transfers make transit slower than driving.
Nearby Hotels
The Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is the host hotel, so staying on-site puts attendees steps from all sessions; reserve through APMA's block link for the best rate. For overflow or lower-cost options, several hotels sit in the surrounding Opryland/Opry Mills area within about two miles, including the Inn at Opryland across the street and airport-area properties such as Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville-Airport and Holiday Inn Express. Nearby landmarks include the Grand Ole Opry (about 0.4 mi) and Opry Mills (about 0.5 mi).
