You can't buy that." – Keith Meisner, Iguana Watersports "WE ARE BRAND NEW, SO THIS WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US TO MEET PEOPLE AND SEE HOW WE COMPARE. I LEARNED A LOT, AND THAT WAS MY MAIN GOAL." – Jack Blodgett, Lifestyle Wake "I liked the round table discussions. Just 8-10 people on a subject, exchanging where they are at. Being able to share your best practices was productive." – Paul Silansky, Strong's Marine "I thoroughly enjoyed the Expo Hall. I enjoyed the spotlight stage ... set up off to the side and had mini sessions in between all of the other stuff." – Holly Riffe, Austin Boats & Motors "I did a lot of meet and greet while there. They had a great group of people representing their products in the Expo Hall." – Matt Schmidt, Hagadone Marine Group Please note: There are several Rosen Hotels, two of which are located on International Drive – each adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center. MDCE is being held in conjunction with the Rosen Centre Hotel and Rosen Plaza Hotel on International Drive.
