How attendees reach it

18 km (11 mi) separates Mahalia Jackson Theater of the Performing Arts from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

Being 1.1 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of New Orleans means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

New Orleans has 72 venues mapped in total and a population of 362,701. The New Orleans guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 2,100 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
