2. For lunch, the hotel served a Mexican themed buffet the first day because of Cinco de Mayo (i thought that was very creative); we had a buffet of chocolate cookies, brownies, truffles, frappuccinos, sodas and coffee for afternoon break (i believe to keep us awake the rest of the conference); we had more food, buffets of appetizers at the networking reception after the first day of conference, the hotel served us sangria, beer, wine.
