I too, live in the area and I have attended many of the trade shows held there, as well as other venues in other locations, like NY, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami & Cali. I can honestly say that I feel safer there, and have never, ever felt unsafe. I agree with all of the comments above. It is extremely convenient & affordable. I don't like being hot, but really, you are almost always in an air-conditioned building or car. Very little amount of time is spent outdoors, unless you desire that. You won't be sorry you came!

I found the area surrounding the convention dull, seedy and very limited for food or entertainment. If you have ever walked to the only reasonalble Italian reataurant you may wonder about your chances of a safe return.Unless you rent a car or take a taxi ($$$$)your options for food or entertainment are limited. I have attended the Anheim location several years . Anahiem is not San Francisco. I found it quite a visual dissapointment THe only entertainment is your Bar or Disneyland. I found the same limitations for food there as well. However I always realize I was there for work not the ambiance. I have also attended other shows at Orlando. Safety has never been a thought. THe weather is great and especially nice in the evening. THere is an amazing variety of dinning and entertainment options all within walking distance. I can't understand any resistance to that location. I have been in Chicago for summer CHA for years.

I worked for a travel agency in Orlando for many years that dealt exclusively with children and yound adult tours. No one was ever injured or harmed while on tours. When I travel I use heightened awareness because I am unfamiliar with the area. As with any city it is wise to go places with a friend and use wise judgement when making plans. Come to Florida and have a great time. There are so many attractions but if they are not your thing visit our beaches, springs, NASA and parks all with in a 30 to 60 minute drive.
