I will concur that the Orlando Convention Center is ENORMOUS. The airport is great with lots of flights. Lots of hotels in Orlando in all price ranges. Tons of educational and fun opportunities. Orlando hosts an incredible well run regional which everyone enjoys and the community is well informed with dedicated volunteers from FIRST. Of course, the weather is fantastic that time of year. An educational trip to Kennedy Space Center (about 35 minutes away) for teams would be a huge plus.

However, I cannot understand how the opening and closing ceremonies and final matches would accommodate all the viewers but maybe this is doable? How would that work? Also,it is a long way to fly for our friends on the West Coast.

But sometimes where there is a will there is a way, and thinking outside the box can make for great solutions.
