New Orleans
The City that Care Forgot. The scent of jasmine and sweet olive tinge the air, a lone saxophone moans soulfully into the night, you stroll down an old street and feel the tension drain from your body. Welcome to New Orleans. We are a little bit of Europe and a dash of Caribbean, rooted deeply in the American South. New Orleans has a wonderfully rich history, some of the world's most famous and exotic foods, and a vast treasure of music that could fill your soul.

From zydeco to jambalaya, from cafe' au lait to dixieland, from jazz to Bananas Foster, New Orleans has a range of diversity and culture that has influenced everything we do. You'll not find another city with this kind of magic. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Attire
Business casual is appropriate for the conference. Remember, you'll be in the land of cotton, a warm and humid tropical climate. However, the wonders of modern air conditioning will make your stay quite pleasant. That said, you may want to bring a light jacket or sweater to keep the chill off while in sessions.
