Get the most out of your time at the National Leaders Conference! Our Friday-afternoon schedule is built for you to choose the experience best suited to your interests. We invite you to attend a special intensive class, use the time to rest and fellowship with other attendees, or experience some of the exciting activities near our conference hotel!
Attend a Class
Don’t want to miss a moment of learning at the National Leaders Conference? We are excited to offer three optional intensives on Friday afternoon. Grab lunch from one of the many restaurant options at our hotel or the Double Locos Food Truck. Then head back to the classrooms in Universal Center for in-depth and engaging intensives. These sessions will be recorded, but attend in person to take full advantage of hands-on activities and Q&As. Speaker and topic information coming soon!
Experience Orlando
We’ve partnered with Visit Orlando to bring you discount opportunities while you’re in town. Be sure to check out our microsite for all things Orlando, including discounted theme park tickets, transportation options, and the Show Your Badge & Save program. Below we've highlighted just a few of these fun opportunities.
Universal Thrills
Located just half a mile from our hotel is the entrance to Universal Orlando, where you can experience thrills for all ages at the various parks! Guests of the National Leaders Conference can visit the Universal desk in the hotel’s main lobby and get half-day, half-price passes (must show conference name badges). Rates and blackout dates vary. To get more details before your stay in Orlando, call the hotel at 407-351-1000 and ask to speak to the Universal desk. You can also check out our Visit Orlando microsite for more ticket options and to plan your stay.
Take a Walk to CityWalk
Also within a short walk from our hotel is Universal CityWalk. This free downtown-esqe area boasts some shopping and restaurants galore—ideal spaces for networking or to just spend time with friends over a meal! The area also offers a vibrant nightlife, if you’re looking to make evening plans.
Go “Under the Sea” at SeaWorld
While Orlando may be landlocked, you can still get up close and personal with ocean dwellers at SeaWorld Orlando, less than 10 miles from our conference hotel. Catch an Uber or the I-Ride Trolley Service to arrive at family-friendly fun: animal encounters, rides, and educational presentations.
Experience the Magic at Walt Disney World
Almost synonymous with Orlando, Walt Disney World is located 30 minutes from our hotel. For those looking to visit the theme parks on Friday afternoon or as part of an extended stay, we’ve worked with Disney to arrange tickets priced specially for National Leaders Conference attendees.
