[nfb-talk] Convention in Orlando for 5 years

[Michael Barber]

Actually, what I do is to arrive 2 days before what I call seminar
Saturday.  It gives me a chance to explore the hotel and to do any
other outside activities I may want to do.

I actually prefer the banquet as the final event of convention.  It
makes a very nice climax to a super week.  Having the banquet followed
by another day of general sessions is very anticlimactic as far as I'm
concerned.

I believe the reason we're changing to this newer abbreviated schedule
has something to do with being able to attract more hotels, as I
recall.
