As far as a place to stay, the Sawgrass Marriott was wonderful...lots of places to eat and drink (albeit a bit pricey....happy hour at the Pub is a good deal) The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. And I really like the way the upper and lower lobbies were arranged into small conversation and activity areas.
However, it was not a great place for a conference as meeting rooms were inconvenient and had light fixtures that presenters had to dodge to avoid concussions. Another large room held two presentation sessions with only a small room divider between. It was difficult to attend to sessions as you could easily hear next door. This was remedied the next day. The one shining factor at the conference was the excellent Saturday dinner. However, I learned it was $145/person. So, great place for a family vacation if you can afford it), not the best place for a conference.
