Table coming before appendix despite being placed in appendix section

Question

I am looking to have a table as the first item in my appendix but when the file is built the table is coming above the appendix.

So it builds as:

Table

Appendix Title

Appendix A

Where I want:

Appendix Title

Appendix A

Table

My code:

\section*{Appendix}
\appendix
\section{Dissemination Opportunities}
\begin{table}
\caption{Conferences}
\begin{tabular}{|p{17cm}|}
  \hline
  AMBIENT - The Fourth International Conference on Ambient Computing, Applications, Services and Technologies. \\
  \hline
  BHI - International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics. \\
  \hline
  CBMS - International Symposium on Computer Based Medical Systems. \\
  \hline
  Pervasive Health - International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare. \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Do you really want the tabular material to float? Put the material in a minipage along with \captionof{figure}{Conferences} provided py the capt-of package (or caption package or any KOMA-script class). — Johannes_B, Jan 07 '14 at 11:11
Setting \begin{table}[b] would be useful if you need a float. — Johannes_B, Jan 07 '14 at 11:12
@Johannes_B that kind of worked, it's now where I want it but there is about 3/4 of a page of white space between the appendix a title and the table — Colin747, Jan 07 '14 at 11:13

To solve this I had to add [h] to my \begin{table}, like this:

\begin{table}[h]
