Our Society held its annual conference in New Orleans in April 2024.  First, let me say that our New Orleans & Company contact, Libby Fein, is absolutely the best!  She was so welcoming and helpful during both our site visit and conference.  The New Orleans & Company team is wonderful too, and our staff says thank you!  I’ve never worked with a Convention and Visitors Bureau like this, and it was a great experience!

We had just over 1,000 attendees at our conference, and everyone loved how we incorporated bits of New Orleans culture into it, thought the food, second line, etc.  Our attendees had all positive comments about the city, activities, hotel and staff.  I just wish I had more time to see more of it!

Thank you again for all your efforts to make our attendees feel welcomed, at home and excited about the city of New Orleans!”

What sets New Orleans & Company apart is their unique ability to connect both the community and their clients. They seamlessly bridged our needs with the best local resources, helping us create an event that was not only successful but also deeply rooted in the vibrant culture of New Orleans. Their extensive network and strong community ties enabled us to access the finest venues, services, and experiences the city has to offer.

New Orleans & Company truly lives up to their reputation. They are the epitome of hospitality and professionalism, and their passion for showcasing the best of New Orleans is palpable. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you're looking for a partner who is committed, connected, and truly "built to host," look no further than New Orleans!

New Orleans and Company knows how to roll out the red carpet for events. More than that, they know how to build relationships that matter and enhance the experience for all the participants. The ELCA Youth Gathering was a giant success due to the work of Allison and Rachel with New Orleans and Company. They welcomed us with open arms and worked their magic behind the scenes to ensure a wonderful event for our 15,000 high school students. They celebrated our successes and problem solved our challenges. Our team leaders love New Orleans for all the obvious reasons – food, culture, music, and more. I love New Orleans for the way the people of this city welcome the stranger. We aren’t strangers anymore! New Orleans is truly a city Built To Host.

The team at the Ernest N. Morial convention center and New Orleans and Company was incredibly helpful and professional during our event. The team was thoughtful, responsive, and quick to act as needed. The city is always so welcoming it's easy to have a great event in New Orleans!

I wrapped up my annual meeting this weekend and it was a big success. We had gorgeous weather, a great hotel, fabulous partners to help make everything come together. I want to give a huge shout out to Donna Glover, Tynel Foster, Summer Hansen Davey and the entire New Orleans & Company team for their outstanding contribution to our event. We are not a citywide or some high-profile group, but they treated us like royalty from day one. Our meeting was also happening at the same time as this up-and-coming singer named Taylor Swift (I think she'll be big someday LOL), but they never stopped checking in to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed to ensure our event was successful. It was the attention to detail and the little things they did to make us feel valued and to make our attendees feel welcome. So, thank you. And kudos to you; it's true... New Orleans is built to host!
