I attended my first WISP related show at ISPCON in Santa Clara. I thought it was excellent. But, on the 2nd day they had a CEO open exchange, if I remember right, it started about 4 or 5 and went till about 1 am or so. They started with beer then pizza, I think a vendor bought it, and the beer I not sure who picked up the tab. BUT that one night was worth the total we spent on the entire stay, just in information and contacts. They also opened the show latter on the third day. If this is normal, I apologize for rehashing what you already know, but I was really impressed with the openness of the participants.

There are a ton of choices of restaurants north of the conference hotel about 2 miles on International Drive but I have no prior experience with the area so some input from Peter would definitely be in order. A few places have complimentary shuttles. ;-) Suggestions from those who might be attending would be greatly appreciated.
