Getting there
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is 62 km (39 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
At 2 km (1.2 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Hammond has 13 venues mapped in total and a population of 23,426. The Hammond guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 8,961 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
