Getting there
19 km (12 mi) separates Municipal Auditorium 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.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
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.
Formats this suits
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 26th of 72 venues mapped in New Orleans.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
