Convention and exhibition space

One venue in Bayou Cane is classified as exhibition or convention space.

Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.

Getting attendees to Bayou Cane

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is 63 km (39 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.

The city runs on Chicago time (America/Chicago). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.

Kenner, Metairie and New Orleans are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Bayou Cane has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
