The only thing I'm a bit worried about is food there.. I didn't see any food stands or anything, except for a Starbucks stand.. so we are going to have to go into the area around it? While I realize they may set up food stands there.. they aren't always the easiest to get to (long lines.. high prices).
While not knowing the exact details for the food vendors since I am not on the planning committee all I can say is that when I was there for the NSTA conference, there were food stalls open in the back, by the loading docks. I am not sure what deals the planning committee has worked out with the venue, but the food wasn't bad or too unreasonably priced for the conference I attended.
