New Orleans 

New Orleans inspires and intrigues unlike any other city in North American. The birthplace of jazz, New Orleans is home to some of the most unique restaurants set upon the Mississippi River. Unprecedented meeting locations include historic Southern plantations, elegant hotels and even the Superdome! It’s no wonder most associations and corporations set attendance records here when they host events in The Big Easy.

Looking for an exciting night to reward your top performers? Starting with a mule-drawn carriage though the colourful French Quarter, getting an up-close view of landmarks like storied Jackson Square and Bourbon Street. Dinner features local specialties: jambalaya, gumbo, etouffee, po-boys, pralines and beignets. Finally, end the adventure by taking in the sights and sounds of the city’s legendary jazz and blues clubs and dance the night away. Allow us to create incentive programs like this, guaranteed to keep employees talking for months to come.  New Orleans has so much to offer: rich in culture and history, gifted in music and cuisine, immersed in art and architecture. Lavish in celebration and beauty at your company’s next meeting, conference or incentives program!
