The 101st Annual ASP Meeting is at the Rosen Plaza Hotel, 9700 International Drive, in the heart of Orlando's entertainment district. The hotel sits directly across from the Pointe Orlando shopping and dining complex, is adjacent to the Orange County Convention Center, and is a short drive from all of the major theme parks. The I-RIDE Trolley stops right outside the hotel and runs the length of International Drive, making most of the attractions below easy to reach without a car. Website: https://www.rosenplaza.com/
