Orlando is the fifth largest city in the state by population making it an excellent location for this conference. Orlando is consistently ranked as one of the top meeting and vacation destinations. It now boasts more theme parks and entertainment attractions than anywhere else in the world. Originally the center of a major citrus-growing region, it is a major tourist destination and the home of the Walt Disney World Resort, the Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld. These attractions helped make Orlando the third most visited American city. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, the largest university campus by student enrollment in the state of Florida and among the largest in the United States. In the 1920s, Orlando experienced extensive housing development during the Florida Land Boom. The boom ended when several hurricanes hit Florida in the late 20s, along with the Great Depression. An economic turnaround occurred when the aerospace/ defense company Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) established a plant in the city in 1956. Perhaps the most critical event for Orlando’s economy occurred in 1965 when Walt Disney announced plans to build Walt Disney World. The geography of Orlando, Florida is mostly wetlands, consisting of many lakes and swamps. The terrain is generally flat, making the land fairly low and wet. The largest lake in Orlando, Lake Apopka, is larger than the Walt Disney World Resort. Orlando is approximately a one hour drive east to the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and an easy drive to the Tampa area. What a great location with something for everyone. Plan to bring the family to the conference in ORLANDO! |
