Memphis, Tennessee at The Peabody Hotel

All Urology Professionals Welcome    Abstract Deadline - September 30


Dear Members & Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce our venue for the 2025 Kimbrough Urological Meeting! You are cordially invited to join us for a grand meeting experience in Memphis at the historic Peabody Hotel.

Conveniently located right in the heart of downtown Memphis, The Peabody is only a short walk to many of the best restaurants and live music on world-famous Beale Street. Memphis has great attractions such as Graceland (the home of Elvis Presley), Sun Studio (recording facility where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and B.B. King began their careers), Stax Museum of American Soul Music (the only soul museum in the world), The National Civil Rights Museum, Auto Zone Park (located directly across the street from the hotel and home of the Memphis Redbirds) and the FedEx Forum (home of the Memphis Grizzlies NBA basketball team).

Located just 12 miles from The Peabody Memphis, MEM (airport city code) is served by Delta, American, United, Allegiant, Southwest Airlines, Spirit and Frontier Airlines. https://flymemphis.com/

Legendary, charming, elegant, and grand are just a few words that describe the Peabody Hotel, recognizable the world over for their famous residents – five North American mallard ducks – and the daily march of the Peabody Ducks.
