Now I could be wrong, but I think there's probably one or two women and enbys in Florida :P They haven't been completely outlawed yet

A lot of these conferences have contracts with conference venues that kinda locks them in for hosting the conference at that location multiple years in a row.

How many years back do we have to go before Florida would be a good idea for a conference like this?

Well, less than 10 years ago, Fort Lauderdale wanted to be the US capital of trans tourists, so maybe not that long.
