Destination Orlando: Expo-nential Timeshare Fun

Home to the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando sees its fair share of visiting expo-goers annually. It’s no surprise, given the sunny Florida climate, it’s proximity to the beach (about an hour’s drive) and the plethora of attractions in the Orlando area – from pretty parks to the world’s most popular theme parks. All are nice “extras” that conventioneers can enjoy outside of the actual meetings, seminars and networking parties.

If you’re heading to Orlando for a convention, meeting or trade show, why not consider booking a timeshare resort for the week? After all, a multi-bedroom condominium with a kitchen makes for a great home base in between attending meetings – bring the whole family along and then hit Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens and Universal Orlando when the work is done!

Here are a few of the bigger trade shows happening at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center in the first few months of 2009:
