Conference Workshops

Once again we will be presenting a full offering of conference workshops for attendees.  These workshops provide excellent opportunities for both learning and sharing of best practices and new, innovative ideas.  Some of the workshops are offered in multiple time slots in order to give everyone access to as many options as possible.  You'll also notice that we have an option of a split workshop Friday afternoon.  Take a look at the full descriptions by clicking the link below and feel free to call with any questions.

Enjoy Orlando While in Town for the Conference...

As home to Disney and Downtown Disney, Orlando boasts not only great theme parks and water parks but a terrific nightlife.  The Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek is located just miles from Downtown Disney and offers a free shuttle to both the parks and downtown Disney for hotel guests.

If you are  considering bringing family along to the conference, they will be able to easily enjoy all the parks without the need for a rental car.  There is also a lagoon style pool at the hotel with outside restaurant.   The Wyndham is a part of the Wyndham Vacation Complex and, as such, conference attendees have access to all of the pools within the vacation complex, accessible through a walking path at the Wyndham Bonnet Creek - no need for a car or crossing streets.

The hotel also boasts a luxuriant spa as well as a kids' club with daily activities and three kids' activity areas.
