From its world class eclectic art scenes, to its distinctive architecture and neighborhoods, New Orleans is compelling. Its jazzy soundtrack and tropical climate make New Orleans a destination to be enjoyed by all.
To the spellbound visitor, New Orleans is like no other place in the world. It’s a city founded upon the traditions and history of Creoles, Spaniards, French, Irish, Africans and Italians, much like its famous gumbo. The New Orleans experience is driven by independent thinkers, creative spirits and non conformists. New Orleans is known world-wide for its food, southern hospitality and the certainty that a good time will be had by all. New Orleanians are the friendliest people you will ever meet! These truths give rise to the phrase coined by native New Orleanians… Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler which is translated "Let the Good Times Roll!"
The final event of the NCSLA Conference, the Presidential Dinner, will be held on the river aboard the historical Creole Queen. You will enjoy a meal, cocktails, jazz musical stylings and dancing. Enjoy the evening breezes of the good ole Mississippi River on the promenade deck. Finally, don’t forget that the world famous French Quarter and all of its allure are mere paces away to "keep the party going". Make plans and come ready to have a great time!
