New Orleans Welcomes

Association for Education in Journalism & Mass Communication!

AEJMC26
8/5/26 - 8/8/26

A timeless city with a unique way of life, New Orleans is a journey and a celebration. Steeped in European traditions and Caribbean influences, the city calls curious minds to sweet sounds and savory aromas fueled by three hundred years of history. From the moment you arrive, New Orleans will beckon your ears, allure your eyes and enchant your heart. Indulge your senses and explore. We invite you to follow the scent of gumbo floating out the kitchen window, foster a path that leads to the sounds of drums and a Blues guitar, create the route that welcomes you to a historic mansion or a hidden courtyard… New Orleans is and will always be a picturesque metropolitan, a culturally rich haven and an authentic experience.
