1. It’s taking place at the Tampa Marriot Waterside Hotel in the heart of Downtown Tampa.
Out of hundreds of cities and thousands of venues to choose from in Florida, WCOFFL organizers picked the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina to call home this year. We might be a tad biased, but that choice speaks volumes. In the heart of the city and on the waterfront the venue is well placed, offering conference attendees easy access to the city and all Tampa has to offer.
Tampa Marriott Waterside plays neighbor to everything from famed restaurants and upscale bars to breathtaking views overlooking the bay, multiple museums, and attractions like the Florida Aquarium, Amalie Arena (home of the Tampa Bay Lightning) and the new Tampa Riverwalk —all within walking distance.
Not to mention the first-class accommodations and modern amenities the Tampa Marriott Waterside offers including on-site restaurants, a rejuvenating spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, a refreshing rooftop pool, and so much more.
