GAYLORD PALMS - SOLD OUT
6000 W. Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee, FL

Imagine a land where the historic old-world charm of St. Augustine beckons you to a majestic Spanish fort. And the festive island spirit of Key West extends a colorful welcome to magnificent nightly sunsets in Mallory Square. Where the gentle fog of the Everglades reaches up to escort you along rustic wooden walkways. And the opulent Emerald Bay, stunning with Spanish Renaissance architecture, greets you with a fabulous array of amenities. Now imagine that it's all in one extraordinary place. You have now entered the breathtaking Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center—headquarters hotel of GEOINT 2006 Symposium.
