Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), 18 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
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.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 2,600 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.
