ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Destination highlights:

  • Food, festivals, and plenty of outdoor fun are all in full bloom during spring in New Orleans. A minute's walk from a streetcar stop, this hip boutique hotel in the Warehouse District is 19-minutes from Bourbon Street and a mile from Jackson Square.

  • There are 5 chic restaurants and bars in the hotel.

  • Other amenities include a rooftop pool, a 24-hour gym, and a retro photo booth.

  • Other nearby attractions include the National WWII Museum, the Aquarium of the Americas + Audubon Butterfly and Insectarium, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and City Park, an archetypal urban greenspace — a full 50% larger than Central Park in New York.
