The conference is a few days after Mardi Gras so you won't have to vie with the revelers for a seat in the scores of fantastic restaurants in New Orleans. Or, come a few days early and join the revelers. The hotel is a riverfront New Orleans hotel in the energetic Arts District near the French Quarter, downtown, and the Garden District. It's just minutes away from the area's top attractions such as jazz at Preservation Hall and a multitude of fresh seafood and other dining options.

New Orleans is a terrific town to visit. Attractions near the hotel include:

• Historic St. Louis Cathedral
• Café du Monde (coffee au lait and beignets, 24 hrs. a day)
• The National World War II Museum
• Antique stores & Riverwalk Market Place
• Audubon Aquarium of the Americas
• Harrah's Casino
• Swamp and historic cemetery and plantation tours
• Rebuilding New Orleans volunteer opportunities
• Numerous art and history museums
