ALOA 2021 | Message From the Executive Director Imagine Your Future at ALOA 2021 our first convention in two years. Join us July 25-31 at the Caribe Royale. This is a new venue for us, and we are sure you’re going to love it. All of the classes, rooms and Security Expo are on one property, and it’s a location that is convenient to all of the city’s attractions. You’ll be getting a fantastic rate for W Orlando in the summer: $159 per night, which includes the resort fee. With that rate, you get free Wi-Fi in your room, free access to the fitness center, use of the ex- pansive pool complex and access to shut- tles that go to select Disney properties. You also get 10% off at the on-site spa. If you want to go off property, there’s so much to do — from all of the theme parks and family attractions to world-class shopping and dining options. The Caribe Royale is only a 10-minute drive from Dis- ney Springs, one of the best dining, shop- ping and nightlife options in the area. Hurry to make your hotel reservation, as they could very well sell out since it is the peak travel period this summer. Call 888-258-7501 and reference group name “ALOA” or visit the Convention tab on ALOA.org. 44 KEYNOTES JULY/AUGUST 2021 Classes and Events We have a great selection of classes for you this year, covering just about every niche in the industry.
