Another note - when you register, be sure and note any dietary restrictions or even preferences. While I am not allergic to seafood, I ABHOR it. In Phoenix I didn't list that and subsequently went hungry for the meals that had only seafood available (though the bartender did rustle up some peanut butter and jelly for me once). Specifically mention any foods you don't eat (pork, etc.) or dairy restrictions.
At Convention in Houston, I indicated "Vegetarian" meals because, at the time, I was not eating a lot of red meat and thought I would receive fish or other protein-based dishes. I received some meals that were identical to those being served to the rest - except the meat was missing and they'd double up on the starch and veggie! If you truly have dietary requirements, I recommend clearly stating them on the registration form - if you don't eat pork or beef, say that instead of veggetarian!
