Besides eating dinner the banquet is where you hear the keynote speaker. In addition I seem to recall that is where the awards are given. The reception is a cocktail party. I can't remember why now but I enjoyed the one in PA but not the one in Atlanta. Orlando has every kind of restaurant from McDonalds to super pricey. I think in previous years I have spent about $20-25 for dinner on Friday night. Breakfast and lunch have been less expensive. Some days the vendors provide bagels and pastries for breakfast or pizza for lunch.
