IMPORTANT – PLEASE BE AWARE OF HOTEL RESERVATION & ATTENDEE LIST SCAMS! 
In the past, several companies have contacted our participants offering a reduced rate at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. The FDLA does not provide any participant information to the hotel or work with any housing company for any events. Make your hotel reservations directly with the Signia Bonnet Creek by calling 407.597.3600 or Reserve Online by Thursday, May 22!

Additionally, FDLA does not share attendee information with 3rd party vendors for pre-registration lists. Any provider trying to distribute lists for a fee prior to Symposium is fraudulent. FDLA staff will provide a complimentary attendee list to all exhibitors after the show. Please do not give your credit card information by email or phone to unauthorized organizations.
