It is ok, but be aware of the cost. Also, there is a lot of construction the entire length of the CC. So getting dropped off by Uber/Lyft or taxicab may be difficult. There are a few places you can actually cross the street, so even if you're staying in one of the hotels across the from the convention center you still going to figure out how to get there. Plan for extra travel time.

Great place for a convention or conference! The Center is so huge that two conferences were going on at the same time but I never would have known if not for other conference attendees going to get food with badges that looked different than my own. It can be difficult to plan for transportation to/from the airport with construction ongoing (as of April 2019) so plan for additional travel time if arriving for a specific event.

My only feedback would be to consider revamping the building's decor and making modifications to the interior to make it more comfortable for guests. For example, installing moving walkways, increasing the availability of benches/chairs/seating areas, and adding more water fountains. It would also be nice to update the food selections available, as most options were greasy/fried and did not appear (or taste) freshly made.

This place covers several city blocks and has more than adequate presentation rooms and AV support for conference meetings. However there is very little actual support for food or beverage service in site especially considering that several of the surrounding hotels do not have kitchens or room service. I would not willingly suggest booking a conference here in the future as there is just plain not food and beverage service available outside of actual conference supplied meals. Also it feels like it is in a "seedy" part of town and may not be totally safe.

The cavernous center and it's multiple halls are like any other expo location. However, this location stands out for its friendly staff and convenient location. A $3 Jazzy Pass will get you there via a trolley; use the same to get to French Market & The Quarter.

Huge and beautifuly located near the river and French quarter. I went to many conference centers that are variant, but despite how nice the food court is and elevators and/or escalators located, this has 2 disadvantages: no easy transportation (public scoots or bicycles unavailable) and limited access (many doors for entrance/exit are locked)

Very large convention center. Difficult to navigate. Multiple conventions at the same time, make it difficult to know the location of meetings for your conference. Poor signage. Inadequate capacity for restaurant options. Seems isolated from major hotels.

#EssenceFest! The convention center is huge and mostly well done. One of the problems with placing of the booths is that there are DJ places next to other booths that can't be heard. For example, near Center Stage when speakers are talking.
