Reviews of New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

Chip Lechner

Great meeting space we attended Fan Expo 2023 here in halls I and J huge facility. Very convenient to many dining options and lots of hotels within walking distance the auditorium is spacious and has great lines of sight throughout the theater. The meeting rooms are spacious and audio is better than expected. If booking a large scale event this venue would be very high on my list to talk to. Staff were all friendly and helpful from a director in a suit to the housekeeper and security guards all over they were all easy to talk to and get what we needed.

Antonio Perez Coss

The Ernest N Morial Convention Center is a great venue for Trade Shows, Conferences, Exhibitions and much more! I was there for the CTIA (Cellular Telecomunicacion, Internet Association) show which is the biggest Cellphone and Consumer Electronics show in USA and our experience was great. The convention center has many hotels, restaurants, and entertainment places near by; so it’s very convenient to walk around and know and experience a little bit of New Orleans. The venue has a great capacity and the facilities logistics, food and beverage services are great (you do not have to leave the center to eat and get some refreshment); we spend the entire day at the convention. If you are considering or going to an event at this venue, you will not be disappointed ;0) 100% recommended 👍

Neil Bailey

Its SO big. Many conference rooms, halls, and places to view the sessions. The Riverwalk mall is right next door. Quick to walk to many hotels and also not to hard of a walk up to French quarter. I came for a conference but it was easy to walk around and get to many great restaurants nearby. Lots of taxi and rideshare services to the airport. The conference also had live jazz as well. You will get many steps just walking from one end to the other.

Juan Ramos

TIP - eat your breakfast or lunch BEFORE arriving at the convention center. I arrived early and still had to wait in line for 20 minutes for limited options like a pretzel, a bran muffin, and a powerade; for breakfast! Also note that you need your best walking shoes. It took me 10 full minutes to walk from the entrance to the middle of the center at full pace. I didn't understand the size of the place until this morning. The concrete also makes it hard to walk on if you have no foot support in your shoes. Great Internet connectivity and restrooms at every Hall doorway. Note: there may be more than one event happening at the same time so understand which Hall you need to be at. COVID-19: the convention center uses the CLEAR mobile app, the same used at the airport, to verify immunization and negative test results.

Lee Fritz

Went to this center for the ISTE Live 2022 and it was very nice. Every thing was labeled and easy to find. The vending machines need to be refilled more often. And there are water refill stations on the top (go to 3 and go up again). A few of the bathrooms were super clean but then a few on the last day need attention. This was an international conference with thousands in attendance. The guy pictured is a worker and he needs a RAISE he was the best he was cheerful, kind, helpful, insightful, eveythubgbthus venue needed. There was another worker by the restrooms and the vaccination area I could not get a pic but he also should be on the raise list.He said to go to the restroom he needed a smile. And he would even you a joke to get one. It was a great all around venue.

Sahar Mehrpour

Big center with lots of halls. Clean halls and restroom areas. Long way from the main entrance to the furthest halls (12-minute walk). Cold temperatures for indoors. There are only a few dining options in the center and it is a little bit from restaurants (15-minute walk)

Dionne Jackson

It is the Essence Festival of Culture this year at New Orleans Convention Center. To enjoy people, community, Black Businesses, Beauty and Special Guess Speaker. It was off on great start 2022 Essence Festival! I Love it!

Ayo Johnson Loye

I attended Essence Festival of Blcak Culture here today. The convention center is extensive large to accommodate multiple events at the same time.

Aurora Ramirez

is enormous. have to rent a scooter or bike to get from end to end . is a good way of exercising every day. is a pretty center. most of their staff are very friendly. Love the New Orleans Energy so far. nothing happened while visiting a d walking around.

hila bornstein

Huge and beautiful place for conventions. We have a great time during the ASHA conference.

Richard Hicks

Where do you begin! This is one of the biggest convention centers I have been too. Employees were all very kind and helpful throughout the whole weeks event. Grounds are kept very nice and clean. Make sure to wear comfy walking shoes, no need to wear nice shoes because you will regret it later on that evening!

Rob Blaize

The building is nice and modern. It was correctly climate-controlled, so you won't feel too hot, a drawback for many similar locations. Beware of parking advertising a certain price at the street-level, since you'll almost inevitably (finally) get into a garage, where a new sign will be posted that demands 4-10 times the price advertised at the door. $17 per day became $50 once inside, after almost an hour in line. This isn't a knock against the center itself, just a heads up for anyone looking to attend an event hosted here.

Tim K

Had a great time with my boy when we went to our first Fan-Con today. Well organized event with so much to see. It was totally sensory overload for my boy, but he definitely has a great time meeting the actors!

Vadim M

The place is huge and sprawling, long walks along and not a simple task to get to upper levels. Everything else depends on the event that is held at this venue. Nice highlight was the row of food trucks during lunch time!

Amanda Miller

This is an awesome place for any event to be held . Plenty spacious enough with 1 million square feet of room.. just be prepared to walk or plan ahead to have some type wheels for much easier transportation.

Ashwin Patel

A well organized center for large meetings. One should be ready to walk a lot as the center is very large; I had to walk 15000 steps per day! I wish there were more options for vegetarian food.

Laura C

This place is huge so be prepared to walk. There are coffee shops and a few places to get something to eat while waiting for your conference. Wifi didn't seem to work on upper levels. Adjacent to a mall if you want to shop on your breaks.

King FishSkell

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!! This is the most grand convention center I have ever visited. An entire Mile of convention!!! I was working there and had to walk the entire length, but what am awesome experience!!! So beautiful there. And the way the outside is set up to allow one to sit and enjoy the day!! And it's right by Mardi Gras World. Can't beat that!!

Riain Rising

As a crew person/producer I've always had a good experience at the Convention Center. But once in catacombs and back hallways of the building it turns into the SECRET OF NIMH. They are super intelligent and very sneaky. A possibly unavoidable situation considering the region we live in. But its another world back there.

Josha van Reij

Large conference Center with many facilities. For bigger conferences the organization should plan room distribution well due to its linear structure of the conference building.

Natnael Argaw

The biggest convention center i have ever seen. Wow Hosts a number conferences and workshops at the same time. Ideal place for international academic conferences.

Akshay Mehra

One of the largest convention centers I have been too. Be prepared to walk for a while to get to the halls. Would warn against the food inside and around the convention center.

Jeffrey Peterson

Nice facility. Conference rooms weren’t overly cold like other conference centers I’ve been to. But the place is massive—mainly, long and narrow so where good walking shoes if your conference is big. The catered food was good. The food for purchase was good but expensive. A lot of nearby quality hotels within walking distance as are a number of good places to eat. Next to Mardi Gras World in one end and a mall on the other. Overall a decent place for a large conference.

Don Juan

Large convention center in the heart of the city. Came here to watch the 71st Miss Universe this January. Lacking of ushers and security. I wish when they hold such big events, they have securities/ushers to control the people from standing on their chairs, occupying aisles, back people swarming in the front blocking people who paid $$$ for the views and safety purposes. Overall good experience but lacking of security and not organized, not too safe for emergency evacuation.

Corain Cash

First time at Essence Fest 2019 and we had an absolute blast!! The convention center is huge so it's a good idea to have the app with the map of whatever event you happen to attend here but it was simply amazing!

Andy Fallon (LT Fallon)

Place is huge. Can take you 20 mins to walk to the other side of the building. The AC does not work that great. Some rooms are 76F and other rooms 62f I was here everyday for a week for a work conference.

Virgil Zetterlind

Really like the tuna nachos. The kung pao chicken bowl was a little dry. Good drink selection.

brandon vicknair

Showed up to comic con to support a friend after recently having knee surgery. The electric wheelchairs were inaccessible to everyone except for the maintenance staff, who were able-bodied and using them to transport their toolbelts.

Dominique Douglas

Zulu Ball 2022 was Amazing, fantastic experience, beautiful people and great music (Stephanie Mills,Tamia,Dru Hill, and Keith Sweat)

Judith Wright

Visited during the Christmas Holiday and their event at the convention center. There was a lot of ccx walking if you didn't enter exactly at that entrance. The event itself was fun and very pretty.

Cris Steller

This is a huge convention center, yet a great place to host an event. The rooms are big and clean with great audio and visual. The atrium restaurant has fantastic food and better employees. Southern hospitality was apparent throughout. Overall it is one of the best convention spaces I have attended.

OMAR ALTURKY

Huge confessional center with many lectures rooms , you need a ride in side it .

charles oboh

Had a conference here the staff was on point,🤔 engaged more with the it crew tho so my experience ia limited but the center is definitely a lovely place to visit and thoroughly enjoyed my stay😊. …

Chris Luebke

Massive New Orleans Convention Center. Near the river. Near amazing restaurants. Near the French Quarter. Near Riverwalk shopping indoors. Excellent climate controlled space.

Katelyn Pippin

The conference I attended was amazing. The food vendors at this location were rude and ran out of food.

Charles Jacobs

Attended the Zulu Ball March 1, 2019 and also in 2020. Huge facility, accommodated thousands comfortably. This convention center is used for an array of events, it's simply an amazing facility.

Imran Muhammad

It is recommended that you wear sports shoes. It's too many steps in one day. Another suggestion is to carry a water bottle, which you can refill from drinking water taps.

Michael Marcus (Marcus 360)

Great place to attend a conference. This year FETC chose this venu and it was wonderful

Adam H

Massive convention center. Look up where your event is located and plan to walk accordingly. Great staff, clean and well stocked bathrooms for the event I attended.

Roy92983

Great place to work and setup trade shows for the city of New Orleans. Hope to continue to work here and setup tradeshows.

K Yana

Large convention center with a wide array of conference rooms and spaces for workshops. Neat and clean.

David Bilhartz II

WEFTEC conference 2022, was amazing. Building was huge, restrooms were kept clean despite the massive amount of people. Was just shocking how large the building is!

nunya bizz

Oh man, I had the BEST time at the Riverwalk Bronner brothers hair show! So many exciting things; music, products (professional and consumer), hair, makeup! It was WONDERFUL. Also visited the food court in the Riverwalk. I tried MONAS cafe, MANDARIN EXPRESS. MONAS cafe was great; loved the pita bread, that chickpea puree with the olive oil it was definitely something new. If you should visit I personally would suggest the lamb over the chicken- it was MUCH more flavorful and delicious. As for MANDARIN EXPRESS; my meal was cold. It looked like the lady overflowed the heating pan and the rice on the top was cooled however the bottom was probably more heated.

Jim McGrory

Bring your walking shoes! Great conference location, but food and drink options are limited in the convention center.

Darren Guillory

Always enjoy the International Workboat Show here.

Nita Brown

Essence Festival was fully organized with several sound stages FULL OF CELEBRETIES. It was well organized and plenty of variety throughout vending booths. Will def be back!

Raymond Huey

Excellent venue for your organization's annual meeting. Kids of amenities in an historic liston.

Terrence Mahnken

The convention center was pretty nice, however, it does feel a bit dated. However, the restrooms were always well kept and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

D S

I enjoyed the Essence Festival. It was a positive experience. It was well put together. If you didn't attend, you missed the empowerment sessions, the giveaway, shopping for beautiful clothing and most of all there were many other booths you could have visits for free. The food was good, the entertainment was wonderful, and the people who attend had a blast! Thank you Essence.

Andrea F

I've been here for several different events. The whole convention center is well over a mile long, so hopefully you know which hall you are going to specifically so you can either be dropped off in the right spot or park close enough to not have to walk for freaking ever. Everything seems clean enough. Restroom have always been well stocked. Great for any large event.

Victoria Price Avon ISR

Very nice convention center! Very easy to find halls for meetings and easily accomodated our large group of Avon reps.!

Mark Irving

The staff were great and told us they appreciated our business. We don't hear that at other convention centers.

Derra “Derra” Howard

Zulu Ball 2020 is always fun! Music was good. It was so packed! Imagine walking through a crowded section-thats how it was finding our table.. I LIVE & LOVE Zulu it just needs better organization to find tables.

Jason Myers

1-10-23 - Great facility, really large. Attended a show for business.

Bria Nicole

Giving is a 3.5 solid. Great location. You can walk from Bourbon if needed. The interior needs some upgrading. The bathrooms were clean even. Which is a plus because I was attending a conference with attendees of over 10k. The staff are very friendly. The food is average at best. If you need something quick to hold you while you are here is all I recommend it for.

Christina Bourgeois (Christina)

Most of the workers were very pleasant, parking staff was a little short with us. The process was a little disorganized, but everyone there being pleasant helped.

kd charles

Had a lot of fun at essence night three can't wait for night four they need to clean the bathroom's but other than that my family and I had an awesome time see ya tomorrow.@ Essence

William Evans

Friendly people, always willing to help

Charles Adkins

Absolutely huge venue. Bring your walking shoes if you are there for a large convention. Also seems to be a ton on construction in the area so we found it best to cross the street before calling for an Uber.

lynne clemons

Visited convention center for the Essence Festival. Convention center seemed too big if there is such a thing. Seemed Iike in some areas i was just wondering around and no direction. Maybe it was the way Essence set it up. 🤔 Anyway although I attended the Essence festival 3 days I was only motivated to visit the convention center one day. Highlight was the food trucks.

Jason Myer

Attended Essence Fest events 2022 and fully enjoyed the experience. Extremely spacious venue with a pleasant atmosphere to match. Staff were pleasant and courteous. I've only experienced the venue during Essence, so this is what my experience is based on.

Roberto Bendana-McEwan

Very large conference center. Disappointed with its COVID policies requiring vaccines and masks.

Bobby Davis

Needs some kind of transportation service the walkthrough the entire convention center it's not for handicap are elderly people

Kenneth Bookmyer

I was there for a small convention in one of the halls. The convention provided lunch through the center. Sandwiches catfish, pulled pork, fried green tomatoes all very tasty. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive

Kyle Wilson

Very nice center, huge comfortable climate, nice staff.. Just need to be in a different location, like far away from New Orleans. Crime and danger begins the moment you leave premises. So be extremely careful going, parking, and leaving.

Temorror Link

I had a wonderful time in New Orleans at the Morial Convention Center this past weekend for ESSENCE Festival. The only thing that I did not like was there was no where to sit down but the floor. Definitely need to work on this for next year, but overall they deserve a five star rating.. I have already recommended to my family for 2023 Family Reunion Baby.....

Sam Hinckley

Wear your walking shoes because this place is huge. Always clean, and the staff are friendly.

Gulf Coast Reviews

Heavy traffic and there aren’t many options for dropping off or picking up as the taxis heavily occupy this space.

Patsy Campbell

Really fun Endymion Coronation Ball. Our servers were excellent. Thank you, Ruby!

Cristy Todd

This convention center is massive. You certainly get your steps in attending a function here. Plenty of rooms for workshops, a nice theater that seats around 3,000 for events. Rooms and rooms and rooms. Very clean and accomodating.

JC Simmons

Very nice place. Friendly and professional staff. Clean bathrooms. The air conditioner is cold(prob the highest honor I can give lol). Only downside is today I saw a bottle of water with a $4 price tag.... This isn't a rave just a convention center, calm down New Orleans.

Ron Thomas

Outstanding! Wait staff was great! Was a but busy but our waitress was awesome! Oh yeah, the Red Beans and Rice and Bread Pudding was to die for! If I get back to New Orleans this place will definitely be on my list of places to come back to! Job well done guys and gals! Thank you for the wonderful service!

Donna Tehas

The Endymion ball was held there last night. Good food and great bands.

Lisa Stewat

Convention center in New Orleans is a hand down number place to work if you love to work with all kinds of people on a daily basis .

Cherie Grace

Really nice event and experience for the essence festival

Paulo Oliveira

Massive structure with good infrastructure, facilities and options for meals. Parking was also relatively easy to find.

Sa Ph

Why would they keep the food court and restaurant closed for a convention of 6,000 people? This place could use a lot more restrooms, and gender neutral restrooms, like ours has in San Antonio. I did feel safe there, it was clean, and the staff were really friendly. But walking to Mordor just to grab lunch sucked.

Javed Ali

Great place for the big events and conferences.

Peter Schravemade

Certainly a large scale convention centre capable of cater to any event large or small. Located in the heart of downtown New Orleans, there is access to plenty of restaurants and side venues for after parties etc... I am skeptical about the “under construction” sidewalk and what impact that will have upon traffic both now and in the future.

Vonda Mac

Business trip June 12-15, 2022. Convention Center clean, and perfect for the conference. Bus lot and ride share lot was new and convienent. Bathrooms were clean. Lots of walking but expected.

David

Pretty functional and well run terminal. Never had an issue loading, unloading, or parking.

Shari Michael

This place is so nice and the workers here are wonderful! The improvements they have made are so nice!

olaf reddy

Really Big ,Convenient shuttle service , food are deliciously fresh "hmmm Po Boy"

Daphne Matthews

I only drove by going to the convention Center I stayed at on this visit; however, it is beautiful!

Charles Macaluso

Spacious well maintained facility. Very comfortable and the bathrooms are super

Lucky Owl

I was there for the CVPR 2022 conference. When I was taking a taxi, the driver asked me "which hall?". I was kind of surprised by this question and then he told me "it's really large, so I will drop you in the middle haha" and he didn't lie. It's spacious, really well organized and the conference staff was really friendly. I really enjoyed my stay here!

eric chadwick

Not very easy access to getting into the building at these times as things have laid down with all the restrictions the convention center is not allowing it as easy to get in

Jim Kerrin

I was picking up my wife. What a great place! It is huuuuge!!

Rachel Cox

Came down to visit friends and have fun at Fan Expo this weekend. Only issue I had was the vending machine snacks. They really need to be rotated properly. I got an item that had expired 6months prior. Other than that, clean, nice faculty, and good food at Jazz City.

T. Gafford

Attended Essence Fest 2019. One of the best experiences I've had in my life. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is huge inside, perfect for the thousands of attendees. The layout of each stage & vendor was well thought-out & designed.

Laura Henry

This is a nice, large space. I attended the Race Expo for Rock 'n' Roll New Orleans here and enjoyed the facility. Ample bathrooms, comfortable indoor temperatures (especially on a day that was quite cold for New Orleans) and friendly staff overall made this a nice visit.

David Barringer

This venue has seen its better days. There are no signs highlighting where the bathrooms are, they had no restaurants open l, only a small food cart outside the entrance, paper towels were out in most of the dispensers in the men's room..... One of the worst convention centers I have been to.

D Rose

One of the cleanest and best staffed convention centers I have been to. Fantastic location along the Mississippi River. The outdoor area is well lit with wide sidewalks and I felt very comfortable walking around during both day and night. There are a couple coffee stands inside.

Luisa Guerrero (Yajamalu4u)

is a big Center. is clean and cute. there is some kind of energy around new Orleans.

Sarah S

Fine convention center. They’re quick to turn off the HVAC at the stroke of 5 which is tough during a June loadin. Amusing that the freeway pylons are in the middle of the exhibit hall

Haiqing

If you come for a small meeting, this building may be a nice choice. Rooms are spacious and restrooms are usually nearby. But it is a terrible location for big conferences (>10k+ people). The building is very long and walking from one end to the other takes lots of time. There is little choice for lunch and the food price here is overpriced. For example, a sandwich is priced at $14 in Dec 2021.

Brian Mosby

Great location. Friendly staff, very crowded (WEFTEC 2022), Good food.

Jenny

Beautiful area in New Orleans.

Frank W.

Everything was all the way great! Ate good, drank good! The bartender was spectacular as well as the wait staff! Wow! I forgot to mention how good the Po Boys and waffle fries were! I need a nap! lol

Hernan Muñoz

Great place. Thinking for the future

Angela Bronson

Huge, not good transportation. No good food choices, overpriced

Evelyn Bush

Just bring your walking shoes. Minimum places to sit outside of the meeting rooms. One food vendor.

TIFFANY 504

Huge multiplex type place ever changing always has events and massive crowds

Denise Butler

It was an excellent experience. My first time attending a Zulu Ball.

Casey Colvin

My new favorite event venue. Clean, organized, many bathrooms, many hotel options. I visited for IRE and this is just leaps and bounds above Vegas. Great outlets nearby, friendly staff. Just a delight.

M Chu

1st time to attend a conference here. This place is massive! Food options are decent within the convention hall. A few short minutes away are better options.

Alex Linebrink

Nice conference center! But sooooo much walking and construction. When will the construction end?

David Lewis

I took my kids and some of their friends to the December 2021 Christmas Fest/Nola Fest. The entire convention center staff from check-in was absolutely amazing from the time we walked through security until getting ready to leave.

Joseph Ojeda

Good convention. Considering the amount of people big open space room for all

Nalander Melton

Largest convention spot in the city . Very clean.

Jim Myrick

I visit the Convention Center in downtown New Orleans each year for the Workboat show. This year the show was a bit smaller but thankfully we were able to have an in person show. The convention center always does a good job and the facilities are very nice. If you are staying near the warehouse district you can easily walk to the convention center. Located on the water just down from the Hilton and Four Seasons. Thank you for the continued great job.

Eric Reaves

Very convenient location for conference activities in 'The Big Easy'... but the convention center shows its age and is in need of upgrading/ renovation.

Bradly Davis

If it had more parking nearby I would give it a 5

Anthony Pompano

First time rating a convention center but this place was huge! There was a couple food areas inside to eat at and tons of people working and helpful for exhibitors

Gina Foster

Excellent service, Great employees/volunteers. Wonderful medical team. Had my vaccine here. Entire staff gave me a piece of mind. Quick,fast, and convenient. Will do it all over again if I had to. Thanks guys for such a comfortable experience. Stay safe for you all are truly needed ❣️

Michael Flood

As with many convention centers, not enough places to sit, meet, work, etc. Lots of walking, so wear appropriate shoes!

Victoria Stanfield

Very nice place, super nice people that work there

Richard Bernhardt

This is a huge but very utilitarian convention center. Many events can happen at the same time. Easy to navigate. Food provided through center was good. Well located.

Glenn Byrum

Nice place for the convention. Was nice and very clean.

Benjamin Taylor

Incredible job with the pavilion renovation. Top notch work.

Jeremy L-J (Jay)

The people working there are really Courtois but the bathrooms are so discussing!! The floor were sticky and they were missing toilet paper in like all the cabins! And there was a dead cockroach in one of them that stayed there all week

Jeremy Strain

This place has the best selection of hard to find food and seasoning and much more. This store is always very very clean and all the items are front and faced so neat and signage looks great including prices. One of my favorite places to shop

Roberto Soracco

This is where the ISTE conference took place. Transportation provided made getting here a breeze! The conference itself took up the majority of this location. The vendor expo was massive!

Fitz

A great venue for conventions, seminars and similar activities when you are catering for a large audience. If your attendees are high hundreds or over a thousand you have no problem as it relates to space. The centre offers many different rooms of many different sizes on the different floors. Yes and if also offers theatres and spaces which can be used as exhibition halls. It is well kept, and the WiFi service I experienced there was flawless.

Sherrie Walker

First time to Bronner Brothers here. Construction was in the way and they needed police traffic guidance. Not thought out well.

Derek Voges

Event staff for IEEE was professional and helpful. The space is clean and facilities were nice.

YMR

Its a great space for a conference. It was clean and in a great location with the outlet mall next door. It has concession areas, but most weren't open during the conference.

Steven Pemberton

It's not big, it's looooong. Maps said it was 10 minutes to the conference centre, but it was another 15 minutes to walk to the hall where the conference was. There is a UPS store with office supplies if you need them, but that was a 10 minute walk back.

Angela Anderson (Angie)

Very big building with different halls for holding events. Clean, sanitized, helpful staff. Love the updates that were made to the outside walkways. Overall great experience. Still requiring masks upon entry.

Elizabeth Gonzalez

Excellent place for the APNA Annual Conference! The music, the food and the comfy was amazing. I love NOLA

Graeme Ware

It's a very large convention center.... what else can you say?

William Hunt

A very large building. The signage makes it easy to get around and find the meeting rooms. The restrooms were well maintained and exceptionally clean. Good variety of food service, but expensive. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were kept at a comfortable temperature and the chairs were nice.

Cameron and Amanda Lee

It is nice enough but just kind of odd. I mean, it's right on the Mississippi River, but there is not a single window that faces that way. Instead the windows face cityward (which I do enjoy normally), and include views of a the underside of a freeway overpass. Also, why is it sooooo long? It's got to be close to 1 mile long. If you enter on the north side it might take you 20-30 minutes to get to rooms 299 and 399 at the other end! Otherwise it's ok.

J. Nash

All I can say about this place is wow! It is enormous! Just the look, feel and architecture of this place is really nice. I feel like you could get lost in there if you weren't paying attention. It was extremely clean and the Starbucks inside was definitely a winner for me. There was a lot of construction going on but you can't hold that against the convention center. Located right in the downtown area. Very historical feel around it as well.

Racha

Big convention hall and good facilty.

Casey

A couple of the toilets didn't flush. Sorry I used them. Everything else was pretty great. The chairs were a little small for my oversized booty but they were pretty comfortable. After sitting for several hours a day. I can still walk so that's a bonus. I liked the set up of the convention center. It was easy to navigate the many sets of stairs and escalators all room numbers were clearly marked. The food court leaves a lot to be desired but the outlet mall food court was not far away.

Sonya Breaux

Visited for Essence day time events... very organized, clean venue and the temperature was perfect

B Thorn

Very well organized and well thought out. Had my master's graduation ceremony here and it went so smoothly. Many other events, including a huge doctors convention also happening at same time, but this venue is so huge that it never caused delays or any issues. Very clean and modern. Helpful friendly staff.

Josh Bilyk

This conference center is impressive! One of largest in the country, this facility is also well located with several hotels and restaurants nearby.

Eureka Dalton

Very clean, staff friendly, the dessert and mac n cheese was yummy. The chicken was bland: not marinated.

Valerie Webb

Wonderful and very friendly staff! Had a great time at Xerocon!

Suzy

Large venue. not many food choices for the amount of people. Staff is exceptional and polite.

Cassie W

This is the biggest convention center I've ever seen! Multiple giant ballrooms and very nice and clean and air conditioned inside. Starbucks and many other drinks and food items available inside. There is a small food court with traditional south fare that opens around lunch time for convention goers. I loved coming here for my husband's convention.

William Powers

Very big. Maintained pretty well. Pretty good for any size conference.

Erika Dick

Had a great time @ the Gospel part of The Essence 2019

Diana Macku

I've been to the Convention Center to attend many different events, from sports expos to vaccine shots. It's always clean, fresh and easy to navigate if ... IF you know where you are going. It's not confusing, just a big, long building. If you park at "A" and your event is at "H" or "I", expect a long block or two or three walk.

Nat Bell O knee

Bathrooms are to far away from everything. Should not have to leave the event to use a restroom

Justin Almeida

The NOLA convention center downtown is a pretty decent venue space for medium scale conferences. The facility was easy to navigate, was clean, and provided easy access to other parts of the city. Its rooms were well lit and suited for medium sized group activities/presentations. The A/C worked really well (I was there in June) too. Overall, I enjoyed being a part of a 4000 person conference in this center. Great job to the entities who manage the facility.

Shefaza Esmail

I was here for a conference that used a large area of the center, with exhibits and workshops spanning across all the halls and across all floors. The center is vast but the halls and rooms are well laid out with sufficient signage. The staff were also very friendly and willing to help. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the center, and also racked up my step count!

Amie Carlin

This place was awesome. They helped a lot of people after hurricane Laura and all the volunteers were great.

Daniel Corliss

Huge space, great staff. Enjoyed WEFTEC!

Brad Murrill

This place is huge. A lot of eating options.

Royale Rose IG NOEXCUSES_88

We Had A Blast! Everything turned out Fantastic from the Vendors to the Performers. Nothing but Good Vibes.

Keren Ho

We were here for a conference which was great The convention place is huge. Make sure youve got comfy shoes for the trek! Washrooms were easy to find. Wish food options had healthier options. Also wish there was a legit coffee place, but maybe we just didnt find it...it was a huge place and we got tired. Come with snacks I guess.

Larry McVay II

Great venue, amazing location!

Participated in the Job Fair yesterday. Well maintained clean bright area. All fixtures were in place and perfect for our booth. Every staff member was courteous and friendly.

Bill Laughlin

As far as convention centers go this has to be one of the best. Been to many others in many different cities and this was large, and it could accommodate huge crowds of people. It was clean and well-kept, even the restrooms. It helps that it has a small Deli type cafeteria, and many points of entry and exits.

Justin Swafford

It's was a nice convention center. I could almost see the Star Trek convention potential. The place is gigantic , like Starship Enterprise. So big

Agustin Diaz

This is one of the most efficient convention centers that I have ever visited. They have easy access, good location near many tourist attractions, and they have a mall next to it with plenty selection of stuff that you may need last minute! That's is a huge plus, but also they have a food court the convention center with a decent variety of food stands, Nevertheless, there is a lot more variety of food stands at the mall too. One of my problems during conventions is finding place to lunch, since many conversations centers just a have a couple of cafeterias with very bland food, this is not the case here.

Joshua Fasano

Great convention center that clearly cares about the staff in the building or money either way I can buy a coffee and food items without having to leave the building.

Christie JW

Prepare for some walking, because this place is huge! We were in Hall H for Collision Conference 2016 and it was a nice venue. There were tons of concessions set up with pretty decent food. I heard good things about the food court too but we never made it to that end of the center. Prices were high, but no more than you would expect of any convention/event center. Everything was well-tended and neat. Staff were constantly coming around cleaning up so you hardly noticed any mess.

Suzanna Erlichman

The staff here is awesome! Everywhere I went I was greeted with a smile. If someone was cleaning the bathrooms, they would stop what they were doing and hand you paper towels after you washed your hands. My conference was over a weekend so it speaks volumes that the staff was that happy to work on a weekend. Thank you all for your hard work and great customer service! Like the other reviewers this place is gigantic so wear comfortable shoes.

Lauren J

Great place for a convention or conference! The Center is so huge that two conferences were going on at the same time but I never would have known if not for other conference attendees going to get food with badges that looked different than my own. It can be difficult to plan for transportation to/from the airport with construction ongoing (as of April 2019) so plan for additional travel time if arriving for a specific event. My only feedback would be to consider revamping the building's decor and making modifications to the interior to make it more comfortable for guests. For example, installing moving walkways, increasing the availability of benches/chairs/seating areas, and adding more water fountains. It would also be nice to update the food selections available, as most options were greasy/fried and did not appear (or taste) freshly made.

R. Hall

I was here for the Bronner Brothers hair show and it was great. One thing I didn't like was the parking is so far from where everything was and they were charging $20 which is outrageous to me but it was the only parking option. This building is huge. I was only there for the event I was attending but if you were in search for a place to hold your event with plenty of room, this would be a great place.

Brian Morenze

Spread across a massive land area! This place is easily the best place to hold large conferences. It is very well maintained and the insides look beautiful Place has its own cafeteria and an uncountable number of meeting rooms. Some of the halls are as big as pentagon 😂

Karla Autrey

Nice Convention Space The International Work Boat Show is held here and the staff are fabulous. Helpful, professional, friendly just nice folks that are helpful with a friendly smile. Clean restrooms and a great food court. The only downside are the prices of the vending machines...totally outrageous and worse than airport prices...

Debra Johnson

Went on the seas.....Belize 🇧🇿 Honduras 🇭🇳 Costa Maya 🇨🇷 Cozumel, Mexico 🇲🇽 11/19/22 …

Brittney Brown

Went for Jurassic Quest which was awesome! The only complaint I had was the parking was all the way at the opposite end from where the event was held which normally I wouldn't care but it was hot as Hades outside 🥵 …

Kendall Curtis

Nice helpful, friendly people, Very clean.

Charlie Tillay

They're trying to be accessible. They're large enough to host conferences with around 50,000 attendees at the same time. The space is flexible for different needs; the tech assistance is top notch. Main drawback...it's huge and difficult to navigate. They make scooters available, and they're good scooters. However, the elevators are undersized and difficult for even staff to get the scooters in and out of. Final note: There are no grassy areas near to the conference for service animals to use...you will have to cross to a median/neutral ground of a nearby street.

Robert Snow

Exceptionally large ?? Conference venue ...it handled the Court Technology Conference I attended with no prob. Close to French Quarter ... Canal St...and the Warehouse Dist ...all good places to visit/walk to. Right now construction and road work mess things up a bit ...but it's a good location.

Jobrena Tucker

Very spacious seating good to view cheer performances. Food options were not great but not many of these events do. Had the roast beef po boy if your here I've tried several things by far worth the jacked up price you pay than other options

Nancy Gervais

It's huge. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, because no matter what you do here, it's bound to involve a mile or more of walking. The facility is pretty clean. The food is absolutely horrible though, so make sure to plan a bite at a nearby spot outside. Some of the meeting rooms are located directly underneath the Mississippi River Bridge, so don't be surprised to hear a honk or two and some serious rumbling during your meeting.

Natalie Krusemeier

I suppose that as far as convention Center's go, it's doing its job. However, it is so huge. If you go to a convention here wear comfortable shoes, not anything fancy. I wish that they had better beverage and snacks elections spaced in the center. If you want to eat something healthy, you have to leave the convention center and walk around in the quarter. It is nice that this is in New Orleans and close to a lot of amenities.

Lou Herout Hicks

Staff were great but clearly management is strong handed in some departments. Security staff were so strict that they caused my company make problems when we got locked out of our event storage space. Also, I can't understand why almost all the food spots were closed. I was there for a massive conference and we had to leave the building for anything beyond a cold lunch, concession stand or coffee. Entering and leaving the building was a huge hassle, so many doors are blocked due to construction that there is a very very very long walk in the building, it was a frustrating waste of time.

J S

Very nice large facility for convention space in downtown New Orleans. Lots of things to do and places to eat nearby. The food court inside was not so great. It did have a good Starbucks. Overall, it's a good location for a convention.

A.A. McDaniel Hamilton

I came here to this location as a result of a convention with my family member. We had a meal that were served during the convention and it was fairly nice. The convention hall was set up very well except for the audio systems were difficult to understand and appear to be malfunctioning. since I don't know if the audio system was the responsibility of the facility or that of the convention holder the benefit of the doubt goes to the convention facility. The place was large and clean when I visited. Each of the servers I had contact with were professional and courteous while trying to maintain the meal service areas. all of the ushers that I observed were also professional and courteous in the performance of their jobs.

Brent Beatty

Very large convention center. Lots of food choices, including a Starbucks. But you can not use your Starbucks card at this location. Staff are overall friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were relatively clean for such a large facility.

Donald Tepper

Big facility. Long walk to get to different places in it. Also, a fairly long (5-6 block walk to/from Hilton and many other large hotels. On the other hand, it has a good mix of room sizes. And the food (for meetings, catered events) is really pretty good. It's very close to (but, unfortunately, not connected to) the river walk--an enclosed shopping mall that stretches all the way to the Hilton.

Rebecca Altman

A great experience. The convention center is beautiful. My only complaint was that with a group as large as ours the food court should have been open. We had no where to eat! No place around really for a quick lunch. I was with the National PTA

Haley Hebert

My boyfriend's doctor was super sweet and very thorough .. he hasn't had the best luck with the VA in the past, but recently they are making sure he is taken care of with all his needs. And they do most appointments virtually now which works for us since we live in Denham Springs. He is extremely grateful for all the care he is and will be given!

Joseph M. Catlett. Sr

BRONER BRO'S HAIR SHOW WAS GREAT

Jonathon Popphan

Beautiful facility. I've worked two trade shows there and was so impressed with the place. However, it is a huge building. Takes almost 30 mins to walk from one end to another. I recommend that they consider installing moving sidewalks!

Kat

We were there working for a large convention. Staff is great. Very responsive to needs. Bathrooms clean. Had trouble overnight with huge rats, but we began putting all packaged food in tubs every night. There were also large bugs, not a ton but I saw maybe half a dozen. Disconcerting as we had to work back stage with little light, but I think that's just NOLA. You've got to deal with it. Also had events at the Hilton. No bug or rodent sightings. This center is huge, so Hall J was a big trek for us. They need those airport moving sidewalks. Overall a good experience thanks to the people.

Lateef Bugg

OMG!! Went to the Wizarding World ComicCon... look 👀🥰 …

Kevin Michalski

The bathrooms are big and plentiful, but the one time I went to drop a poo I couldn't find any toilets that were clean. Also, the food is expensive but you pay for convenience. There was a Starbucks in the atrium area which had a constantly HUGE line of ~30 people. I praise the employees working there.

Bettina Buval

Just spent 3days at Essence Festival Empowerment seminars and shopping for unique gifts. Meeting rooms were well lighted, sound system was good, and bathrooms stayed well stocked and clean. Will definitely get your 10,000 steps walking from one end to the next.

Britney Zanders

We've enjoyed the Essence Fest and Zulu Ball!

Cheyenne Suz

This is certainly one of the largest convention centers ever...HUGE! The support staff are very friendly and helpful too. Be prepared to walk if you're coming for a large event. They also have on premise eateries, as well as, catering accommodations. NOLA has really got style for building this place!

john williams

Large and clean. Experience depends on the event you are attending, but I've always enjoyed the venue. Or in your walking shoes, because it is HUGE!

Kurt T. Bellow, Jr.

Clean facility. Burgers were expensive, but good. Went to the Jurassic Experience here.

Andra Pittman

If u go to a convention here, they do have food and Starbucks, so u don't have to find somewhere to eat, which is a plus but if u venture out, the outlet mall has an excellent food court and look for Cafe du mind on the ground floor and there is a fat Tuesdays in the court. Get the souvenir cup, it's worth it for the $10 refill. Oh and there is a deck off the court that is by the river and has nice views for pics

Dr. Vanessa Phillips

Very nice convention center. Right near the cruise ship port. Sits just near a popular outlet mall. Features Starbucks stops throughout and a full service Starbucks in the center. Very spacious. Parking surrounding the building ranges from $20-$30

Mark Gravitt

Excellent convention center, capable of hosting multiple large events at once. Wear good walking shoes, since the building is three very long stories. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Dawn Martin

Wow, talk about a giant convention center! The whole time I was there I just kept thinking, "Why isn't Comic-Con being held here?" I mean, I know San Diego is nice but boy what a con you could throw at this convention!! And, since the convention center is so gigantic be sure to bring some comfy walking shoes. The center was kept clean and could easily hold the two conventions it was running while I was there. DO NOT: Absolutely do NOT buy coffee at a vendor there. I got a mocha and it was so horribly made I took one sip and had to toss it. Do not expect to get coffee at Starbucks here unless you want to spend your whole morning in line. DO: Absolutely DO buy you coffee on the way as there is only 1 Starbucks in the whole convention center and you'll be standing in line for at least 20 minutes. Absolutely DO take advantage of their furniture outside of convention halls to take a load off. Absolutely DO take the time to walk out of the convention center to go have lunch at one of the closer restaurants.

Cherie Binns

This place covers several city blocks and has more than adequate presentation rooms and AV support for conference meetings. However there is very little actual support for food or beverage service in site especially considering that several of the surrounding hotels do not have kitchens or room service. I would not willingly suggest booking a conference here in the future as there is just plain not food and beverage service available outside of actual conference supplied meals. Also it feels like it is in a "seedy" part of town and may not be totally safe.

Judy McKnight

In spite of the construction happening, the convention center seemed to run like clockwork. It was clean, there were helpful attendants everywhere, and the service was very good. It was a blast from the past as I have always enjoy this huge venue.

Ahmed Alnajar

Huge and beautifuly located near the river and French quarter. I went to many conference centers that are variant, but despite how nice the food court is and elevators and/or escalators located, this has 2 disadvantages: no easy transportation (public scoots or bicycles unavailable) and limited access (many doors for entrance/exit are locked)

Gone Jedi

Working here has been good, stressful, and overall nice place to work. You can tell they love what they do.

Joe Toothman

Awesome but parking suck

Kent “Big B.” Mardis

It is very clean place... and restrooms are very clean. Parking is crazy but other than that it is fun and exciting to look at all the different venues

Jessie Bourn

I found it to be a feeling of mixed emotions on one hand very pleasant but on the other hand something's could be better like some attitudes could have been better i know in a real life crisis situation thing's happen i understand this it's the real reason for the 4 stars but some people on both sides of being helped and giving help still have a lot to learn especially patience it truly is a virtue ,, thank you convention center for all you've done for all of us but please remember that in time's like we're going through now and the near or far future let's truly try to work together in unity to have a peaceful relationship and process for all our needs and general public you as well it would go a lot smoother if you show up in the right frame of mind with the right attitude as well let's learn how to work together for the greatest results nothing less will do ok !!!

Maryanne Bobbitt

Very large convention center. I recently visited to attend the annual AGU conference which is usually held in San Francisco, CA. The layout of this convention center is very intuitive. I was pleased to see the many concession area located throughout the center. Lots of variety for food choices. Another plus is the close proximity to the outlet shopping center along the Mississippi River. Friendly staff, nice conference halls.

John Paul Handrigan

Attended a conference here in 2017. This place is huge and clearly meant for large trade shows and conferences. There is a large open area, but also classrooms that are great for training, speakers, etc. We didn't have to park, but there seemed to be lots available in the area.

Maria Buchanan

I was at the convention center for a large conference. The staff was very friendly! The convention center is outdated in certain areas. It's HUGE though!!! Come wearing comfortable shoes! There are multiple levels with escalator access, but from end to end, the convention center is about 1/2 a mile in length. There's a food court and Starbucks in the middle portion of the convention center.

Ezekiel M

Oldish style, but overall a well-maintained convention center. Gender neutral bathrooms were cool. But what takes the rating down to three is the lack of food/coffee for early convention goers. Nothing is really open early (before first session). And afterwards, I waited over an hour for Starbucks. If you have a convention here, plan to eat and get your coffee elsewhere.

Minnie Thornton

Unfortunately this convention center is right in the middle of a construction zone. Access is difficult. I was lucky enough to stay at the Downtown Marriott accross the street. Since I am disabled and require the use of a scooter, crossing the street to the center was a bit scary. Once inside, the facility was clean with ample space for our RepFest.

Victor Hills

Spent three days here for a meeting. Venue fit the bill, we didn’t even task them since we were not large enough to even come close to filling it. Wish there was more onsite grab and go for coffee, waters and more available verse just the Atrium Restaurant area. Bathrooms very large and well attended to, which was appreciated. Be prepared for fluctuations in temperature and humidity it is the south. Enjoy!

Fahid Kooloth

Fabulous convention centre at the location where even biggest events are possible. There are enough facilities u r looking for including good no of rest rooms. There are multiple halls that are customizable based on the requirements. Plenty of conference rooms are also available 4 the same. Recommend 4 big events!!👍👍 …

Jonathon Popphan OVG

I attended the Halloween and Party Expo at the convention center in January 2019. This is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. It is well-maintained and staffed with helpful people. I look forward to coming back next year!

Carol Dotson

Work in progress and hopefully when completed will move more smoothly. Areas need more/better directional signage. Always a workout when going here from parking to getting in the building to finding where you need to go. The security outside was helpful in getting pedestrians across the street.

N R

Big clean and service was great.

Walter Correll

Covid vacine Johnson and Johnson, large parking lot. You entered on the left side and were giving a temperature check. Given a pen an card to fill out then takin to a work station with a computer. Work stations were at least 6' apart and there were at least 50 stations with two computers per station. After filling out the information on the computer received a print out you went to the back. In the back were approximately 30 stations with 3 spaced apart seats per station. Recieved the shot and given a small paper with time on it when you can leave. Walk all the way to the right. 15 rows of ten chairs each spaced at least 6' apart. The chairs are all facing a large projection of a clock. On each chair was a paper with pertinent information about possible side affects and warning for emergency procedures. There also was a yellow mask in a plastic bag and smiley face on the mask. They had medical personnel watching and answering questions . Time matches your card you leave. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful from the start to the end. If anyone there reads this well done and thank you.

Charles Williams

The convention center is in an excellent location and is close enough to the tourist areas to walk. The exhibit halls are large enough for major events, but the relatively narrow width makes it a long journey from end to end. Food is overpriced and a poor representative of New Orleans cuisine.

Mark R. Greenwood

Huge! We'll air-conditioned. They seem to be able to do it all. Starbucks Cafe is a nice amenity. Great location on the river and under the bridges. Easy to get in and out of.

Maureen Elias

Fantastic conference space. Although the Starbucks line ......insane. I really appreciated the gender neutral bathrooms saving long lines between sessions of the conference. It's definitely big so wear your walking shoes. And the R rooms are hard to find. The location to the French Quarter is walkable and the outlet shops next door keep you busy.

Rodrigo Fernandez

It's a pretty nice venue. The food inside is not really that good but there's plenty of options in the surroundings if your conference is not too big and restaurants don't get crowded. Be advised that the convention center is looooooong and going across of it takes even 15 minutes

Alex

Obviously not individually owned but instead by the politically infected city government overran with policies and opinions". Still a very nice facility.

Delly Vassell

Very large place. Excellent. Everything was on spot with logistics and service

Juan Antonio Bernabeu

It is a huge convention center. Very well organized. The staff is very friendly. It is close to the Mardi Gras World study. A perfect place for conferences and large group gatherings. I would recommend you bring your own water and snacks.

Dan Andrei

Dusty and not memorable, with a strong 80s vibe, this convention center is actually either too big or inefficiently laid out so that the hallways are gigantic, travel distance between rooms is amusingly long and, as silly as it may sound, restrooms are few and far between for the number of people that can be accommodated in the space. Otherwise, there are typical amenities, good sound and video and a rather sad looking food court (once again severely undersized)

Madelin Groenhagen (Mad Destinations)

The New Orleans Convention Center is a very important nessessity to our City! Attended a socially distanced seminar today that was about shaping the future together and making our convention center even better then what it is! New Orleans has an amazing convention center, and I can't wait to be apart of the new renovations that are currently being done!

Michael Dawson

This place is absolutely huge! When I went there they were several very large conventions going on at once. Plenty of parking, but get ready to pay for it. This is a fantastic Convention Center for a fantastic City!

Morgan Dixon (The L & T MD)

The Convention Center accommodated our group quite well and helped us to feel safe and comfortable even in the midst of uncertainty. The staff was friendly and amenable. Look forward to coming back when the construction is completed.

Yun Hwang

It is a great place to have a conference. But it is a huge place and going from one end to another can take good 15-20 min. For my conference the names of the rooms were little confusing (but i think that was the organisers fault) and the food available inside was not that great. But there is Starbucks available for a coffee hit althoufh the queue became extraordinarily long during the breaks. Rather uniquely it's close to an outlet mall which is just next door!

THOMAS Garner

Two weeks ago I took my Girlfriend to take her first covid-19 vaccination, I've also attended Zulu Ball, Essence Fest activity there as well, Good for big events.

Wayne Schulz

What can you say - it's a convention center. It's connected to a long mall type structure with lots to eat. Inside was typical convention atmosphere. Seemed relatively easy to navigate the various rooms though I think the setup and ease of navigation varies depending upon how your convention planner has setup their layout.

William Cook

Big aisles. Roomy. But does lack enough amenities. Easy parking just overpriced.

Ken Heil

ON the top it is a standard convention center with many room and able to host multiple events at once. The signage could be better. One problem is it is difficult to find the R-XX rooms. The signs are not well posted you have to go across the catwalk to the back side of the center. Plenty of hotels within walking distance so take a taxi and stretch the legs.

K Dean

Nice and clean. Lots of venue's and events happening

Senjuti Saha

I was there to attend a 5 day conference. Great venue but it was always freezing inside the building. So cold that the glass windows were always wet and dripping - not comfortable to get work done, unless one wears several layers of sweaters.

raymond Michael

Good place to visit and enjoy whenever people come to New Orleans. Great place 🤠 …

Roberto Lopez

It is ok, but be aware of the cost. Also, there is a lot of construction the entire length of the CC. So getting dropped off by Uber/Lyft or taxicab may be difficult. There are a few places you can actually cross the street, so even if you're staying in one of the hotels across the from the convention center you still going to figure out how to get there. Plan for extra travel time.

Abhishek Sharan

Huge convention center. It can easily host multiple big conferences. I attended APS physics conference in March 2017 which had around 10,000 participants. The rooms are good and well organized. Also has several theaters. Only downside is, they don't have good places to eat. They have a couple of food courts, but the food is awful. They have one Starbucks which was always crowded.

Brite Bay

This is a very good convention center for large conferences. Here I attended the technology conference of Nutanix. Next in May 2018. There are many halls with good capacity. And there are three great halls with a capacity of five thousand to six thousand seatings. The whole convention center is clean and very systematically designed.

Elizabeth xyz

The convention center it's self was very roomy and decorated very nice. So disappointed with the Essence Festival. In my opinion I received the best show for my money for the Essence after dark reggae concert. Only thing I didn't like being from out of town is it was standing room only. Yes, it had some VIP seating, but you would not have seen the artist while sitting and when we left we were exhausted from standing inside and out, but I wish I had just paid for all the concerts instead. Essence fest itself could've been better. First, the lines for free products were too long. They should have had two separate lines for product information/sales & free. I paid $59.90 for the beauty carnival and received the same gift or similar to the people who got in for free, only difference is I didn't have to wait in the long gen admission free line. So, save your money. We knew nothing about the my black is beautiful exhibit/stand beforehand because in order to participate, you had to come when convention center opened to get a time stamped wristband of when to return. What I expected was a separate experience from free similar to VIP because I thought I was paying for VIP. However, they should have added things like makeup/hair tutorials. At the Maui booth I did get a picture with Elle Varner which was nice. There was nice places and props for photos. Great hair journey informational exhibits. It was way too many different music playing to enjoy the many different interviews and extra concerts, but the Brandy concert at the Coca Cola booth was great. The program and Essence app was confusing on how to get to exhibits inside expo. No suggestions on how they can fix it, but it needs to change. Maybe something with directions on how to get to expos because some of the staff had no idea how to read program details or where things were located. Or, maybe more floor signs.

Scott Boquet

It's a large convention center. Parking out front. Wear comfortable shoes because you may be doing a lot of walking to get to where your going. Drink machines aren't cheap.

Christina C

This place is always nice and clean, and great for big events. Home for major conventions that come to the city. The layout is a bit tiresome if you ever go to the CC please wear comfy shoes.

Hannah Byrd Little

This conference center is massive wear walking shoes. Also you might want to bring a sweater and dress in layers. There are really nice charging stations throughout the facility for your cell phone.

Rabindra Nepal

This convention center is only three stories high but very long. Therefore, you will be tired of walking from one corner to another if you are in a very big conference. I also feel the lack of good food courts inside as well as nearby the building.

Sparrow白兎

As mentioned, this place is huge. Just truly massive. It generally contains several events simultaneously, so be careful not to show up to the wrong ballroom. The staff gave us endless guffaws and teases over the event costuming. It was not welcoming. Parking is pricey as well as the crappy food.

Jay Camille - Jackson

Huge space. Great for events conferences and concerts. Worked here a few times. Its always a pleasure going here. Been for essence and during a conference as a visitor. Had a great experience.

Sara Nelson

Bring your walking shoes!! This convention center is nearly a MILE long! However, it is a Beautiful structure that is ideal for large OR small conferences. I would recommend bringing a sweater/Jacket though, even if it is hot outside, they keep it cool in the building.

Bill Geddes

Convention Center and very Large. NABC Coaches Reception at opposite end in 2nd floor Ballroom. Attending staff working hard

Jay Curley

This place is huge! Make sure when you attend a convention here to have very comfortable shoes. Parking lots are abundant and most charge 30 dollars per day. There is available street parking but they only offer parking in two hour intervals, there is an app for the parking but unfortunately you can not add time from it so if you can't make it back to your car to move it or start all over you will get a 30 dollar ticket like I did. There are multiple hotels and restaurants all around the facility. The front of the convention center is undergoing a redesign (February 2019) and is supposed to be finished by the fall. But now it is a total mess and it is very bogged down with traffic and detours You may want to take Lyft or uber although they jack up the rates during highly attended events. Some hotels have shuttles so that you can avoid getting ripped off.

Sam Farnsworth

It's big and has great wifi. There are also lots of hotels nearby. However, there are very few food options close, and there was nowhere to buy cold drinks in the convention center except for one small deli that was very busy.

John Pham

I attended the 2018 American Library Association conference at this convention center. This is a huge convention center, so be prepared for a lot of walking. There was at least one other event happening at the same time; that is how large the space was! The convention center is well air conditioned, which I appreciated due to the hot weather outside. The opening session featured an audience of thousands who came to see Michelle Obama speak. The exhibit hall had hundreds of vendors. There were rooms of various sizes within the center for a variety of workshops. The escalators were a bit confusing, but there was sufficient signage for me to find my way around from one end of the center to the other on different floors.

Mohamed Salem

New Orleans convention center is one of the most professional convention centers in this region. I likes the design, however, I did not parking area. It is very difficult to find your place in your first visit. Make sure to come earlier for your first visit. I liked the activities they introduced it and food court place where you will be able to find a good food.

Anrea Williams

The inside has been totally remodeled. Absolutely beautiful but the construction makes it difficult to maneuver. Parking limited and expensive. I had to park at the other end of where my meeting was. Put your walking shoes on. Take an Uber or walk, walk and walk.

Beth Hogan

Very large convention center, so wear your walking shoes and wear layers. Chilly when in meetings but Work up a sweat getting to your meeting! Meals were included in mine, food was served cold, and breakfast undercooked so not impressed. A large number of bathrooms so rare line for facilities that were kept clean. Few chairs available in lobby area for as large as facility is if you need to make a call and access paperwork. Countless water fountains did not work. One meal I asked if I could get a glass of water after drinking the one on the table and was told there is only hot water and was pointed to the coffee table. So pack a water bottle or two for the day!

Diane R

Large building runs about a block long. Clean, airy interior, up kept. Sections include cafe eatery a bit pricey as all of New Orleans I've encountered. While at a convention there the hotel buses were moved to the other end of the block unknown to the patrons. Running of the Bulls sprung up closing portions of the street. Some people weren't allowed to cross over to catch the bus, poor planning. Safety officers on site we're kind enough to direction my party to the new bus stand. Too many hotels have similar names which confuses people. Overall a nice presentation. Close walking distance to some area hotels, others had to board the bus. Parking ranges up to $40 a night at your own hotel!

Spynn DaRella

Nice, clean convention facility.... but the food options available inside the building are bogus. When running a sales booth at a convention, one doesn't have much time for grabbing a meal and might want to go for the Quick and Close option. Well, don't. Just don't. I can't recommend a place outside of the convention center within a stone's throw, either. My advice to anyone visiting or working the events here is to bring your own snack, save your money to eat at one of the many famous restaurants around the city. Whatever you do, don't waste your money on the inedible bread with 6 soggy, cold fried shrimp that is their Po Boy...

Tarique S

I attended the AGU conference this year and had a chance to visit this conference center. It is a huge conference center that can easily accommodate around 50k people. The parking was easy and there are many restaurants nearby for a quick bite.

Adam Wolfe

Great pharmacist conference was held here. Everyone fit in! Across multiple days it was uncomfortably cold however. By the end of conference not sure if ever warmed up. Just bring layers! Also the cafeteria food is not bad and stocked with local items!

Jason Stum

Was here for the 2017 NADA Conference. This place is huge so make sure you're wearing comfy shoes for whatever event you're here for. The only downside to this venue is the distinct lack of a recycling program. During our event, tens of thousands of bottles of water were consumed on-site and sadly not a single empty bottle found it's way to a place where it could be recycled.

My husband and I attend the convention center doing the weekend of the Essence Festival. There were many stage acts with celebrities performing. You could have gotten free stuff as well. Many vendors were selling their products too. It was such a huge excitement to be a part of all the festivities that was happening at the convention center.

Donald Davis

Staff was incredibly professional in all my interaction. Polite and extremely courteous is how i would best describe my experience. Looking forward to my next visit(shot).

Rod Ratchford

Loved the activities and vendors that gave people a lot of options.

Jen McCraw

This was a nice convention center. However, it is vast so get prepared to walk a lot! It also isn't easily accessible in every direction for walking from all areas of town. The food was decent and everything ran smoothly.

Mildred Colar

Well spaced it is used for at the time a c19 vaccination Center. And no problem being directed to where I needed to go and it did not take long. All the staff,Medical and non-medical for very helpful and friendly

Renee James

Though my convention was cut short. The convention center was great. Something was wrong with the servers though, they drop more plants and dishes than any place we have every been. It was very disruptive.

Karl C

Massive conference center. Was here for Tableau conference.you will definitely get your steps in at this place. Nice theater and ballroom setups. great AV in all rooms.

LaVon Toney

Very big (huge) inside. Didn't get to see or cover everything in my weekend visit, but I enjoyed it. Bathrooms were clean. The food court had descent food. Security was pleasant

M VDW

Will get better once construction outside is done - good food near by

Norm Bour -Travel Younger

It's big and well maintained, a good place to hold an event

Stephen Daray (Steve D)

The place is big. Really big. It was very clean and well maintained. We were there for a Mardi Gras party and thought that they ran it's really well. I do think they could have had more garbage cans out and the sound system was good, but not great

George Yakubek

We were hear for the 2018 AAOS annual meeting, and it was a fantastic time! Place is very large. Wasn't really impressed with the food options, however, across the street has many options for great food!

Gwendolyn Morgan

Very nice Convention Center!! Extremely large and I've met some very nice employee while here!! Nikki (Customer Service for the center) and others!! It's next to a Riverwalk mall type area and watching the river while eating was very pleasant!!!

Amelia Ketzle

Let's see...how do you review a conference center? It is large...has lots of rooms...is well-marked for finding your way from room to room. Reasonably comfortable climate control. Lots of bathrooms. Expensive snacks. 😡 This is notba cheap conference, so this seemed like taking advantage of a captive audience. Finding food (aside from lunchtime) was difficult. Need more availability of food in between sessions. The atrium cafe was always too long a line to get anything without being late. (This review was during Ellucian live 2019...no idea who is actually responsible for this - the conference center or the company.)

Robert Follett

Nice venue for any event. We attended the Bronner Bros International Beauty show and wow! what a awesome show. Good food court to experience what NOLA is all about. Go ahead, enjoy this place.

LV KimChee

It was very nice convention center

Teneha B

A great addition to the city & its the place of ALL THINGS "CONVENTIONING" (is that a word... lol) The site of balls, the civil sheriff's thanksgiving day dinner, graduations, medical conventions (as I stated), jewelry shows; this place is MASSIVE and to walk it, phew, walking shoes are called for. Before heading out, I normally find out which Hall (A-L, I believe) the event I'm going to is going to be held at and then I head for the hills. Some years ago, posthumously, there was a renaming to Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, just seems fitting to me, especially since he was the major push behind the creation of the venue. The new face lift is refreshing. Bathrooms are evenly spaced & seemingly ALWAYS clean, which is a feat within itself because of the expansive size. Inside there are little eateries & drinking facilities, just in case you don't want to leave the Convention Hall during your event.

S Nolan

I was only briefly there. The place is huge can hold many mini conferences at the same time. It's not too difficult to get to as not too far from Canal Street and the Riverwalk. You can get the airport shuttle from there as well. It's also a 5-10min walk from Mardi Gras World and 5 mins away from the Riverwalk Outlet Collection mall.

Shar Siddiqui

Great convention center

The BEE WEAVE SLAYA

I went to the Bronner Brothers hair show. The event was awesome and New Orleans is a culture rich place to see. I stayed in the French quarters. There was a lot to do and see. I am definitely visiting again. Also the staff at the convention center as not only helpful but very pleasent in service and attitude.

Randy Johnson

Great staff, clean, excellent amenities.

Amir Yosef

Huge convention center. Many outstanding restaurants within the parameter and all at walking distance. Parking is available and costs $15-20 for the whole day: park at the one that follows the center, there are other parkings that belong to private people and they will charge you more. I'd rather uber/lyft.

Joseph Goss

Very large facility. The theater rooms are in an amphitheatre style. The seating in those rooms is very uncomfortable for a tall person because of limited leg space. The rooms are looking a bit rundown. I was there for a convention and the food court was closed.

Kemp Brother

Had a great time at the essence festival and all the great Activities

Samantha Lowe

Convention center in New Orleans, it's big seems to be well maintained Friendly staff Lots of cute plants

Patsy Ambrose

They must have known who I was. A nurse was tell me what to expect after I get the shot. While she had my attention, another nurse wiped my right arm and gave me the shot. They must have known that I was afraid of getting shots.I hardly felt anything. Thank you LCMC for taking good care of me

Daniel Rivera

It's a big convention center. It's a two stories building. Well organized and easy to understand its distribution. I had the opportunity to use it for the AAO 2017 and the only sad part is that it doesn't have a free parking. Free wifi available during the meeting. The outside was already decorated for christmas and it was lovely.

Sean IssoFresh

Cafeteria closed after 2...arrived late and hungry. Had to go walking to find food. You would think with a large convention they would keep serving food. Otherwise, place is well kept and staff is nice.

Ramonda Griffin

We (me and the hubs) heard about a tattoo convention in New Orleans this weekend. We decided to make a day of it. Very clean restrooms. Food was great. Parking was readily available. Good experience.

Milan Gilbert

Our Convention Center is the 5th largest center in tye United States. We house all different types of events throughout the year. One of the best and my most favorite event that's housed in there is Zulu Ball on a Friday, Endymion Ball on a Saturday & Bacchus Ball on a Sunday! If YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST FUN NEW ORLEANS HAVE TO OFFER THEN ONE OF THESE BIG BALLS WILL DO IT FOR YOU 💃🏾🎉

Rolf Brekken

Decent place for a big conf. Very large, good AV, ok food from vendors,

Susan Kelb

Large facility that had plenty of room for joint conventions, meetings, and vendors. Restrooms spaced comfortably. Could walk from hotel areas comfortably in 10-15 min.

Lisa Brown

Awesome for a big event. The 2019 Teacher Summit was almost 5,000. But the building never looked crowded. Even when we all ate in one room.

Kurt Zanzi

Cavernous space they like to keep on the chilly side. Bring a light jacket or sweater. You will need it.

Bradley Mccord

Always great event here. Christmas Fest was the best indoor festival and event we have ever attended. Wizard World Comic Con was great as well!

Barbara Hornsby

Massive, and a facility that is working towards zero waste!!!

Abi F

Such a large convention center! It was great and staff were friendly

Josh strock

Was here working essence fest. I'm not the target demographic and I was working so not much fun for me. However, this convention center is f***ing huge. Depending on the event and your interests, it could be a lot of fun

Timisha Wilson

Nice place. Big and it wasn’t too cold especially since the weather outside was so muggy. We came for the Essence Festival, and it was a good choice since was close to our place. Only downfall was all the traffic due to construction. Roads were horrible

Olga Wonders

The Morial Convention Center is a vast hub of activity. Just be sure to utilize maps, parking, and direction. The Convention Center is a very convenient well fitted addition to downtown New Orleans sites and lodging. I always enjoy going there for events. It continues to draw a wide variety of quality entertainment and business associations.

Kenna Rubin

Typical convention center, but with poor signage, a really long and spread out building requiring lots of walking, and limited food+amenities inside or nearby

ariane lee

Nice and Lots of space but way to pricey. $8.00 for two regular bags of chips and m&Ms. Bring your own snacks and drinks.

Tina Crouse

This convention center is massive! Surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and historical buildings and tours. The riverfront shopping and outlet stores are next door. Parking is offered all around and lots are available as well.

Sis. Tolbert

Nice looking building. Didn't actually go inside. I flew into New Orleans to get to the Port for a Royal Carribean cruise but the building looked good from the Airport shuttle bus window. 😜😏😁 …

Tiffany Nagi

So many things to do. We were there for the Jurassic Park exhibition or whatever while they had a basketball convention going on. Selection of food was subpar, the regular menu was not being served and prices were high for what we did eat. But don't let that stop you from experiencing it yourself.

Tracie Barrios

Went to the jewelry show with my sister. Was expecting expensive parking. It was only $15. However the food inside was crazy expensive!! $3.50 for a bottle of water!! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Jim Chung

An ideal venue for conferences and exhibitions!

Jan Krátký

TIP: Parking lot "J" by the end of the center is for $5 only if you leave before 5 a.m. the next morning. Not good if you have fancy shoes though. Center is quite large, service staff ok. Air conditioning weak during de/construction period, nobody is replacing towels throughout the day in the restrooms.

Cynthia T

The food is expensive and often tastes like cardboard, but at least it's hot. Parking can be cheap if you catch the right lot at the right time. Make certain you know which Hall your event is in before you park!

Fer Fortini

Each opinion on this place will also depend on who organized the event, but despite that, being objective, It's an amazing place well located and big to do anything inside. Its not a 5 stars as I did not like that some of the restrooms were closed

Charles Conti

the location of the venue is fantastically convenient to downtown hotels. The only challenge right now is the straits have been torn up for over a year making large events challenging to get vehicles to.

Jimmy M

Had a cheerleading competition at the latest location. The place was easy to navigate to. It was clean and a good place to have so many people for a competition. It is a very large place.

Josef Aukee

Efficient, modest major events facility. Near mall with A/C and relatively easy access and low traffic. Neighborhood upgrades will improve options for post-convention activities.

Michael Schmidt

HUGE convention center. Literally takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other inside. Plan accordingly. Lots of room for any event. May need more food and coffee stations for large crowds.

Tiffanie Lai

Massive convention center! Was here for NRPA, but there was a simultaneous convention also going on in the far side of the center. The conference rooms were a bit difficult to maneuver but was a great venue for the amount of breakout sessions we had. Wifi spotty in many places, only downfall.

Emily Henderson

We come here every year for the NOMTOC Ball and it is always very well put together and clean. The servers are always nice and keep the ice buckets full. Lovely place.

T F

Came in for the Collision Conference which was great. Food was just ok, not nearly as good as what you get everywhere else around NO LA. The staff were friendly in the venue, and transportation was easy to get to and from the conference.

Steve D

The place is a nice new convention center. As it turn out, I fell and hurt myself on the stairs -- not their fault. I was just clumsy. Still, it took 20-30 minutes to get the on site medical person to show up. I ended up taking a cab to Tulane ER.

Calvin Vallery

Loving the new renovations alot of new Orleans flavor gives of this vibe of excitement

Colleen Beyer

Loved going this time. Easy parking and the grounds outside are beautiful with all the up grades.

Angel Hargis

I was there for work. Fun and good staff

Positive Interventions, LLC

The hall is spacious and the central bathrooms make it a decent venue. Its not overwhelming just plain. Good for big conferences and small events.

Brady Napolitano

Is a lot bigger than it looks like on the outside. Went for winter event, and not many people were there and it was a blast.

Mark Nickel

Large convention center that has easy access parking and room for multiple events at once. Our graduation event seemed to be handled great and went off without any issues.

Ines R

Very large convention center. The SHRM Conference was a fun event. The only rub was when you changed sessions the halls were flooded with people made for massive traffic jams of people going from one venue to another.

Sanson Perez

The place is huge, it looks kinda old and it is. Good for the trade fair. Difficult access at peak hours. The Mall is getting better since six years ago. Good restaurants around the place.

Sven Kreutel

Great convention center

Allen Brooks

Easy to get to and simple to navigate. A lot of nearby lunch options as well as vendors onsite. I would recommend going to a conference at this location. The hotels nearby are nice, especially the Mercantile. A nearby restraunt Galliano was a very good dinning option.

Drew Dodenhoff

Great venue for Carnival Ball. Sparkling clean, friendly wait staff. Friendly security personnel.

Nicholas Davis

Where are the chairs. As you walk the 1/2 mile in your suit and your shoe becomes untied, unless you are inside one of the large halls, you will never find a chair to sit down in and tie your shoe. They simply have none in the main walkways.

Team P.C.- R/C Drag Racing

Went to the tattoo convention they have going for this weekend over a 100 tattoo artist doing what they love. It was my first time going to a tattoo convention it was a blast and of course you have to get tattooed! I know I did!

Angie Ang

It was a MASSIVE crowd for Essence 2018 but I met Mary J Blige and Vivica Fox here! The was a lot of activity and plenty of space to accommodate it all... massive amounts of vendors with booths set up everywhere... the drawback was the food. The vendor we went to sold BAD seafood and we all threw up. The "soft shell crabs" were hard! And when we ate them, it tasted like ammonia inside! The conch was disgusting and dough-like and the shrimp were the only saving grace. Poor uber driver... I let her car have it! That's not the convention centers fault tho, but it was my experience here.

Robert Webber

The 3rd floor is not connected. To get between some conference rooms, descend to the 2nd floor, walk walk walk, and return to the 3rd floor. The cafes across the street are nice though! And it's within walking distance of cool New Orleans.

Allan Behrens

Reasonable, and internally, a long walk (anywhere)

Fazega

Huge conference center, practical.

P F

It was a good facility. Three only bad thing was the food on site was horrible and very expensive. Plan to eat off site.

Mike and Jackie Wheat

Well done! This place is huge and very accommodate! You are within walking distance of everything!

Melech Ha'arayot

Went to the Humana Marathon Expo at this convention center, Very large center, parking was okay and there seemed to be few restrooms. It was very clean. The concessions were closed during the expo,

Eric Martinez

Its an amazing place for a convention, however the food service is terrible. Full of apathetic cooks and servers who don't care. Not good for a tech conference. Other than the this place made collision amazing :D

Red Johnson

I got my first and second shots at the Convention Center now I'm fully vaccinated it didn't take long at all

Mrs. Henrie

Nice facility with friendly staff. Very responsive and made sure everything went smoothly

Susan Peele

Endymion Extravaganza was amazing at this venue!

kevin williams

This place is huge. Food items are outrageous priced

Damian General

I loved everything about.... Essence Networking "Ebony Energy Experience"

James Duffy

Well staffed convention centre, that was very well suited for a 24000 person conference. Plenty of toilets and water fountains but food offerings at lunch time were poor.

Chesya Burke

#EssenceFest! The convention center is huge and mostly well done. One of the problems with placing of the booths is that there are DJ places next to other booths that can't be heard. For example, near Center Stage when speakers are talking.

Megan Wilson

Not sure whose bright idea it was to make a conference center a mile long. Very difficult to navigate especially when going from the second to third floors. Wear comfortable shoes.

Eric Whitfield

The venue is spacious and nicely accommodated the various vendors, speakers, and celebrity guests in different locations for the Essence Jazz Fest expos.

Richard Mullins

Came for Big Easy Con - well lit, spacious and clean. Construction at the front does make entry/ exit a bit interesting.

Rose Vines

This place gets 5 stars for the staff, who are exceptional. From cleaners to servers, techs and cooks, really great people. The conference space is massive.

J Resmo

We have been to this place several times for allstar cheer competitions. This place is massive. If you don't mind walking there is a Starbucks at the end that leads out to the Riverwalk. Lots of places to eat over there! Lots and lots of shopping!

Jylissa Griffin

I'm attending the Essence Festival and I love this convention center, spacious and clean and there is ALWAYS a bathroom attendant cleaning, and keeping the bathrooms orderly with such a huge crowd. I'll be back next year!

MATTHEW PARKER

Beautifully and spacious center that accommodated so many professionals. Met so many professional and interest people and products. AMAZING!

Bridget Scott

Had a blast here. Lot of great conferences

Greg DeCristofaro

This place is enormous and it has everything you need so you don't have to leave once you get there. There probably could be more hotels closer to it, but it's kind of close to other attractions, such as the casino.

Torie's Fair Shares

The art, the culture, the beauty,....its always transformed during Essence Fest. I wish the parking options were better in the area (or city in general)and that bathrooms had more stalls updated

Manabendra Ray

Attended ACS meeting. Excellent location. Riverside mall is just next building. Street car station is just below the mall. 15min to French Quarter. Nice area.

Vincent A. Johnson

Attended the 2016 EMS World expo here. Great place but be ready for lots of walking. This place huge...but worked off all the new Orleans food.

C Jones

Holy smokes this place is huge, during essence festival it can be a bit daunting to think you can do and see everything at once. So If there are multiple days during your event, go often to experience everything.

Sandra Gockley

Huge place kept up nicely , staff had no idea about anything from the food court to the coat check ...im not sure if they are hired by the convention or the building

Cheryl Kellup

I received two Covid-19 vaccine! shots there giving by LCMC Health ❤️💛💚💙💜💯💯💯 no problem and I feel great God bless everyone on the front line …

F H

Its huuuuuuge...attended a big conference there (ACC 2019). Apart from the "main tent" the "education rooms" could use more flatscreens to mirror the powerpoint slides shown in the presentation. Definitely not up to date there..

Henrique Barbosa

I guess it was nice when they built it. Now it looks old and not well taken care of. Moreover, the linear arrangement along the shore makes the different rooms to be very distant from one another. Very bad if you have 20k people (AGU 2017)

Joy Pfeifer

Had a wonderful convention here. They really need a moving floor and more elevators, though. There is a lot of walking and not enough ways to get between floors.

Tracy Yaste

This building is enormous and has no moving sidewalks or anything to expedite travel for the regular folks (i.e. not convention center staff or police) from one end of the mile long building to the other. This makes it very difficult if you're mobility impaired at all. The bathrooms, while they're clean, are very far apart. It's just a gigantic building.

Arkadiusz Szczurowski

Good place for a convention, but remember it rains around from time to time so take umbrella if you don't want to be soaking wet while walking from your hotel!

Money Mike bo

The convention center is a very nice place to take tour if you're visiting new Orleans

Jessica Jackson

Attended a Christmas festival that was great and spacious! Staff was well informed and kind.

Carlos

This convention center is truly huge! Due to it's longitudinal shape, when going from one room to the next, take up to 20 min walking time into consideration

kenneth mercer

Large place. Thus extensive walking is required to move from one lecture to the next lecture with insufficient time to arrive at the start of the next lecture. Also, the ambient temperature of the facility is too cold; even a sweater is insufficient to stay warm.

Luke Skywalker

SHRM - Society for Human Resource Management Conference: best ever!

Shahedul Islam

That place is massive...I walked 8 miles inside the facility on an average for 4 days...was there for a conference...has a mall right beside it...a river behind..great...that Starbucks is just way too insufficient for a place this big.. sitting arrangements could be better...I hope they have a easy access wifi by now..and it's new Orleans..so indulge in ...

Geoffrey Brantner

Facility is top flight, but who ever produced the recent Tattoo Artists convention did zero promotion. No one knew about it, very small turnout, many artists said they'll not return due to the lack of promotion.

Raymond Sweet

Great place to have a meeting or a party. Rooms for meetings come in all sizes. You can modify the spaces to meet your needs.

Kathryn Miles

Great chicken salad sandwich and friendly waitstaff. Rachel was our waitress. She made our lunchtime an occasion. We sat outside and watched the world go by...relaxing.

Angela R. Hunt

Went to the Halloween Expo, it was easy to get to and from the convention center. Bathrooms were clean, facility had plenty of space and the staff were helpful.
