The Gaylord Opryland was a great place to stay. While the convention center is conveniently located right there at the hotel, the complex has a lot of different pathways and buildings and gathering areas and was easy to get lost in. The good news is, we were able to work off a few of those extra convention calories by walking around, looking for meeting and hotel rooms! We enjoyed seeing old friends and making new connections at the show. Due to cancelled flights, the entire Atlantis Worldwide team had to spend an extra night. (oh darn)  Still, the show was a great success!
