No matter the technology, it all starts with the written word. Especially when building attendance for your next Orlando event. We've provided six copy blocks that promote the destination's numerous entertainment options for attendees. Copy them. Paste them. Use them in social media apps, PowerPoint presentations, Web pages, print collateral or e-newsletters. Just get the word out about Orlando meetings and attendees will follow.
Orlando is a true culinary hot spot with award-winning restaurants and celebrity chefs that cater to attendees from across the globe. The destination provides an extensive menu of fine dining establishments, international eateries, casual cafés and chic wine bars. Restaurant Row, a mile-long stretch on Sand Lake Road, includes more than two dozen casual and upscale dining options. Pointe Orlando, an entertainment complex located on International Drive near the Orange County Convention Center, is perfect for dining and dancing the night away. And additional dining experiences can also be found in downtown Orlando or nearby Winter Park.
From casually sipping wine and enjoying a leisurely cigar at a trendy outdoor lounge, to dancing to house music or hip-hop at a high-energy club and checking out a rock band at a live venue, Orlando provides participants with nearly unlimited nighttime opportunities. Attendees can see music performances at the House of Blues in Downtown Disney® and Hard Rock Live at Universal CityWalk®. They can experience mind-bending entertainment with the Blue Man Group and the La Nouba™ by Cirque du Soleil®. Or they can discover a modern, big-city nightlife scene in downtown Orlando that includes dozens of dance clubs, bars, restaurants, live music and Orlando Magic basketball games at the Amway Center.
The same spirit of creativity that helped develop Orlando’s famed theme parks and attractions has also produced a thriving arts and culture scene, as well as the most local artists per capita in the country. In a city known for state-of-the-art entertainment, Orlando mixes the traditional with the avant-garde. The Orlando Ballet and FAIRWINDS Broadway Across America — Orlando series are the historic cornerstones of the performing arts community. The International Fringe Festival and Florida Film Festival appeal to those who seek an edgier experience. A similar mix can be found within the visual arts — the Orlando Museum of Art, CityArts Factory and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art all convey the destination’s wide range of sensibilities.
When it comes to distinctive shopping, Orlando has deep closets. While we can certainly bring out the glitz, we also know a great deal when we see one. Our mix of sophisticated malls like The Mall at Millenia, quaint boutiques on Park Avenue in Winter Park and value-driven outlet centers such as Orlando Premium Outlets serve up internationally known brands and unique local finds. And their close proximity to each other and the convention center district — within a 15-mile radius — makes for a stress-free shopping spree.
With 176 courses, it makes sense that Orlando was recently named the North American Golf Destination of the Year by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators. Attendees can play 18 holes on greens designed by golf legends including Palmer, Watson, Nicklaus and Norman. Or the new Rees Jones-designed 18-hole championship golf course shared by both the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. After a round or two, participants can relax and rejuvenate at one of Orlando’s 19 destination spas, many conveniently located at convention hotels. Global spa brands like Guerlain, Mandara and the Ritz-Carlton await.
With seven of the world’s top 20 theme parks in one destination, not to mention nearly 100 other attractions, Orlando certainly knows how to entertain. Attendees can indulge their inner kid — or some seriously adrenaline-charged adult fun — by checking out Orlando’s theme parks and attractions. Whether seeking to reconnect with childhood nostalgia or experience leading-edge innovations in ride technology, these latest additions are truly one-of-a-kind.
