The Environmental Protection Agency officials have given New Orleans and surrounding communities a final clean bill of health. The Army Corps of Engineers recently raised the safe water elevation of the London Avenue Canal from four feet to five feet. The official rating scales rank the air quality in New Orleans in the “good” zone. The areas that tourists and visitors enjoy in New Orleans are as safe as those in any big American city. And the core of the New Orleans hospitality and tourism destinations are open and thriving, including the Faubourg Marigny, French Quarter, Warehouse Arts District, Garden District/Uptown, Audubon and University section, Carrollton and Riverbend, and historic Algiers on the city’s westbank, including hotels, restaurants and retail.

In the spirit of this renewal, the Louisiana Chapter and the APWA staff are working tirelessly to prepare a conference that will be both informative and memorable. Stroll through the exhibit hall with more than 500 exhibitors on hand. Plan your class schedule from 15 different topics with more than 120 sessions. Then enjoy this historic and cultural host city with its unique restaurants, cultural events like no other, and Southern hospitality rivaled by few. Experience each aspect and enjoy it with other industry professionals.
