Are you familiar with the Morial Convention Center where MACNA 2017 in New Orleans will be hosted by Bayou Reefkeeping? It has over 1 million square feet of exhibit space, covers nearly 11 blocks, and has over 3 million square feet of total space. The front of the main building is 1 kilometer long! It's an incredible facility!!!

Looks sweet! And air conditioned, too. We here in DC like air conditioning. We'll love having it in NOLA. We'll need it.

So are all exhibitors going to be in a single space?  It would be great to have that, if so.

Like Denver, this one will be in a convention center. Huge space; high ceilings.

 

I don't remember if it's been mentioned, is there a direct connection between the Hilton and the Convention Center? On the satellite view, it looks like there's a large parking lot between the two facilities which would make for a fairly long underground walk if there is one.

Quite a bit of interest after my latest post, I love it! I'll try to address the previous few posts!

 

  • Yes, air conditioned. Around here nothing isn't as it's pretty much needed year around.
  • All exhibitors will be in one large exhibition hall! It's one 127,000 sq ft. HUGE rectangular shaped room!
  • There are two routes from the hotel to the convention center.
    • First is to walk along the street about two blocks. 
    • Second is a fully air conditioned route walking through the Riverwalk Mall.
  • We have Hall E for the exhibition space, Hall D for the banquet, and La Nouvelle Orleans Ballroom for speakers. it will be split in half making two large speaker rooms.

Large speaker rooms is music to my eyes. It will be great to not have to get there early to get a seat because if you want to hear two consecutive ones you won't get to the second early.

@MACNA_2017,

 

How about a list of things to do in and near New Orleans including day trips?

How about a listing of restaurants by quality food type - hole in the wall/upscale/unique to New Orleans?

Hey Greg,

 

Can you give us any info on what the workshops might be? Looking for the schedule and mobile app too!

 

Workshops are still in the planning stages and the 2017 app is under development. I would expect the start seeing the app available by sometime in March and things like workshop and speaker schedules in it too.
