The Florida Restaurant and Lodging Show is an annual event that has seen tremendous growth and success in the last few years at USA's second largest centre, the Orange County Convention Centre (OCCC) in Florida. The show is looked forward to by all exhibitors and visitors as it not only plays the role of an interactive ground for exhibitors but also as a platform for sharing, learning, implementing new and positive solutions and ideas into one's business and personal skills. As much more than a trade show, the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Show will be informative for all those in the restaurant and hotel industry as they will get to sample an array of new products as well as witness new cooking styles demonstrated by experts in the field. Hoteliers will also be given an insight into the commercial aspects of the food service industry and the essential guidelines to allow for growth and success. An ideal location, such as the OCCC, which is also referred to as "The Center of Hospitality”, adds to the advantage of both visitors as well as exhibitors due to its close proximity to the city's most visited and popular entertainment spots. Not to mention, its centrally located venue is further advantageous as outsiders do not have to worry about accommodation, which is available at walk able distances from the OCCC. From five star hotels to budget friendly ones, Orlando provides an extraordinary range of hospitality and accommodation options. Located at a distance of only ten miles from the Orlando International Airport, the venue can be reached in a short period via the "BeeLine Expressway" or by using the taxi services which are easily available. However, with their dedication to hospitality, the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association also offers guests an option to make hotel reservations at discounted rates via their Travel Desk. Another facility provided by them is the scooter and wheelchair rental service which can be used by guests for their convenience. The earlier Florida Restaurant and Lodging Show held in early September 2008 was a huge success owing to attractive features and highlights of the show like The Liquid Lounge, Ultimate Barista Challenge and World-Class Culinary Competitions which were interactive as well as educational in nature. With over 650 companies displaying products ranging from gourmet foods to kitchen equipment to kitchen hygiene products; the event was a platform throwing open the never-ending world of infinite cuisines and processes to all chefs and hoteliers. The great response and success achieved by the show each year has lifted its spirits and zealous visitors await the next upcoming show scheduled to take place in September 2009 at the same venue.
