Scheduled Pre-Conference Events:

Habitat for Humanity Work Day

Nail down more than industry knowledge. Here’s your chance to pick up a hammer and directly help the New Orleans community by joining a Habitat crew in this post-Katrina city.

New Orleans City Tour

Embark on a fascinating city tour including the waterfront, French Quarter, Garden District, the controversial levee system, and an eye-opening visit to Katrina sites.

Dinner at Galatoire's

After a day of fun in the city, let the good times roll at New Orleans’ premiere restaurant. In 1905, Jean Galatoire transferred secret family recipes all the way from the small village of Pardies, France, to the Louisiana Vieux Carré. More than 100 years later, Galatoire's is still family-owned and is rated #1 by residents in Zagat’s New Orleans 2008. Sit back and enjoy the decadent dining experience as Louisiana jazz fills the air.
