Where to stay for the Microsoft MGX conference in Orlando?

Microsoft's Global Exchange Conference in Orlando is a highly anticipated event each year and this year the excitement level seems to be even higher in our office since a couple of my colleagues are planning to head over there. Besides the conference itself, where you can hope to meet some of the best minds in the business, the conference's location in Orlando is also a big attraction, since it's possible to tie in a vacation at the end of the conference and take in all the sights of the city. Places to stay in Orlando range from very high to extreme budget, but not all of them offer such a great mix of business professionalism and personal luxury than the International Plaza Resort and Spa in Orlando. With a Microsoft MGX Special Rate of $119 per night, the hotel is a great deal for Microsoft MGX Conference attendees as it is within walking distance to the convention center and has some really great amenities such as free wireless across the property as well as free transportation to all the theme parks in the area.

Orlando is one of the most sought after conference destinations for its amazing conference facility options as well as all that it offers beyond the conferences. There's no shortage of places to eat out, and the International Plaza is close to all the best restaurants as it is located on International Drive. If you're going to combine the conference with a family vacation, as my colleague is planning to do then the referral baby sitting services that the hotel provides is really going to come in handy. There's also a kids jungle gym at the hotel for the little ones to use up some of their endless energy!!
