CONFERENCE WEATHER 
In September, the temperature starts to cool down a bit in Orlando, but it's only slightly cooler than in August. The weather is still warm but slightly less humid and more bearable compared to the preceding summer months. Protect yourself from the fierce Floridian sun by wearing light layers of clothing, and be sure to pack a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen with a high SPF.
