Tim Burlowski of Team Veritas shares highlights from this year's Gartner Security Summit
Some dinner plans speak for themselves. A perfectly cooked steak, crispy fries, and fresh sea bass are just a few reasons to get to know Bourbon Steak Orlando by Michael Mina. Your table is waiting at the Walt Disney …
A park day doesn’t always mean go, go, go. Sometimes, you come back for a little pool time in between. Because when the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin is your home base, the break can be part of the fun, too. 🦢🐬
Good morning from your vacation view.

“Submit electrical, dedicated VLAN internet, and rigging before the 30-day advance cutoff at Gaylord National DC, and rent 75" 4K monitors plus tension-fabric structures from a local Washington EAC supplier to eliminate cross-country LTL drayage.”
“Peak decision-maker aisle traffic hits day 1–2 main exhibition hours (9:30 am – 4:30 pm) & evening washington corridor client buyout dinners.. Lock private dining rooms within a 10-minute walk of Gaylord National DC at least 45–60 days before opening morning.”
“Book walkable or skybridge-connected Washington headquarters hotels 60+ days out and pick up badges the afternoon prior to opening day to bypass Day-1 morning registration lines. Wear broken-in shoes for 188,000 sq. ft. Prince George's Exhibit Hall of floor coverage and pre-book evening client meetings near the main concourse.”
“The room was really nice, but typical. What you get from the stay is the amenities like the shuttle service to the Tanger outlets and MGM casino that runs until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. There was a huge pool with 2 hot tubs and an exercise facility that is top notch. They also gave us 2 free cocktails, beers or wine to have when we arrived which was a nice surprise. The ambiance of this massive hotel was lovely. The elevators are super fast and i…”
“My suite was absolutely incredible!!! I have stayed at this location many times but never in a suite. Decided to spoil myself this weekend and I just can't say enough great things about this hotel. Super clean!! Pleasant staff! Incredible views! Incredible value! This is by far my most favorite hotel. Old Hickory is a great place for great food right inside the hotel by the elevators. Valet is the way to go Ya'all! Yeah it's $75. But worth every penny! Ti…”
“What an absolutely gorgeous property! I attended a conference here so I can’t speak to the actual rooms or service but the location itself is just amazing. Well designed, very clean, the conference rooms were great, and the staff was very helpful. I love all the amenities on site as well.”
“Was impressed with all of the team members. Very polite and accommodating. Long flight in, my colleague and I were planning on room service for dinner. No room service at this hotel. Or, very limited. Room service hours were kind of cryptic. 11am to 2pm, possibly. A 3 hour window. I would expect a hotel of this caliber to figure out a solution and make room service available one way or another.”
“We had an excellent stay at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. From the moment we arrived, the property was impressive. The beautiful atrium, stunning waterfront location, and well-maintained facilities created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere throughout our visit. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed, and the staff was friendly and helpful whenever we needed assistance. We especially enjoyed exploring the resort and taki…”
