New Orleans thrives on collaboration and innovation, and our industry engagement initiatives are designed to strengthen the bonds between local businesses and the hospitality and tourism sectors. Through our partnership with the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, we empower small and emerging businesses with the tools, resources, and connections needed to succeed.
