The 2006 event was held at the J.W. Marriott/Ritz Carlton complex in Orlando. The conference was a huge success, with 1,125 members and 1,200 vendors in attendance.Two firms, Baker & McKenzie, and Foley & Lardner, sent 18 people, says executive director Randi Mayes. There were 180 sessions (including 43 panels), ranging from drill-down training sessions on software, to blogging, to career advice.

And social events always score high, especially the Wednesday night vendor events, such as eSentio’s dinner at the Isleworth County Club (golfer Tiger Woods’ home club).
