If you haven't been to Orlando lately, you're in for some truly amazing surprises! Once again reaching record-breaking numbers as the country’s most visited destination, Orlando continues to evolve itself to provide fresh excitement to “wow” its guests. There are exciting new changes and experiences everywhere you look, from the convention district to the attractions area.
Orlando reaches new heights with the opening of the largest observation wheel on the East coast! The 400-foot Orlando Eye at the new I-Drive 360 entertainment complex will tower above the convention district providing incredible views of Central Florida and a great new way to network and entertain clients. This exciting new retail, dining and entertainment complex will offer loads of new restaurants, pulsating live entertainment, and of course shopping. In addition, the complex will include two new attractions - Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE Aquarium - providing even more one-of-a-kind private event experiences such as an A-list cocktail party with the stars! And just steps away, the top-rated Orange County Convention Center continues to evolve with new enhancements from innovative technology and meeting rooms to a beautiful new outdoor terrace to soak up the Florida sun.
Orlando restaurant and performing arts scene has also grown up and is starting to attract national attention with the opening of the beautiful Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center in downtown. Wine Enthusiast magazine recently named Orlando one of the nation’s top wine travel destinations, and The New York Times called out the city’s growing foodie scene, listing it on the “52 Places to Go in 2015.” And once again, Orlando captured more nominations in the James Beard Foundation Restaurant and Chef Awards – considered the Oscars of the culinary world – than any other Florida destination. Five local chefs were named semifinalists for Best Chef of the South, proving Orlando is truly becoming a new foodie mecca.
Build attendance with excitement in Orlando where your attendees will be inspired to think outside-the-box and have the unlimited entertainment options to build relationships after the meeting. From its wide array of hotels and resorts and award-winning dining to exciting entertainment and one-of-a-kind event experiences, see why Orlando is becoming the new hot spot for unforgettable meetings.
