Great venue! Can't wait to return for Essence Festival July 2017!
It seems as though the walk to each hall was always long. The upstairs setup was a little confusing.
There was plenty of signage, and food options nearby.
Had a great time with my family at the Essence festival.
It's a convention center. It is close to French quarter so that is nice.
The convention center is good but not many good options for good food.
Huge huge huge place. The never ending road construction makes the area quite messy
I was here during the VFW national convention. Was huge!
BIG convention center!!!! Lots of walking in this one. Good facility though.
Wad there working a convention, a big place. If you ever decide to visit bring some comfortable shoes cause there wilk be a lot of walking.
Was there for an exhibition. The place was clean and organized. Only the busses to the hotels in the evening was a bit confusing.
I came here to this location as a result of a convention with my family member. We had a meal that were served during the convention and it was fairly nice. The convention hall was set up very well except for the audio systems were difficult to understand and appear to be malfunctioning. since I don't know if the audio system was the responsibility of the facility or that of the convention holder the benefit of the doubt goes to the convention facility. The place was large and clean when I visited. Each of the servers I had contact with were professional and courteous while trying to maintain the meal service areas. all of the ushers that I observed were also professional and courteous in the performance of their jobs.
The catering is scary. That's a thick vein of mold.
This place is enormous. A lot of space to hold events.
Please city of New Orleans work on your parking. Convention center was nice, just expensive parking.
Nice venue. Every three years or the indistr5i am employed has a convention here. It seems to be as nice as other convention centers across the US.
Inside of this building can seem like an M.C. Escher drawing -infinite amount of hallways and conference rooms. This is an ideal spot for large Expo's. The only complaint I have is the food service. During large conferences the center's eateries become overwhelmed and quickly stagnated with the rush of confused and hungry patrons. Unfortunately, there aren't many nearby options out in town either.
Attended Essence Fest 2019. One of the best experiences I've had in my life. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is huge inside, perfect for the thousands of attendees. The layout of each stage & vendor was well thought-out & designed.
Very badly designed. It's really long so you need to travel three blocks to get from one end to another, which is extremely inconvenient for any conference.
Very pleasant location variety things to view. Great job to yeam host Essence
This place is absolutely huge! When I went there they were several very large conventions going on at once. Plenty of parking, but get ready to pay for it. This is a fantastic Convention Center for a fantastic City!
I enjoyed my visit and would like to order online because I live in Charlotte, NC
Nice center, security is ok, except for a few but over all its a great place
Spacious without feeling lost, clean facilities, gender neutral restrooms
Enormous venue, needs updates but very clean and versatile
Close to the French Quarter, there were many hotels nearby.
Nice place for a show. Watch for pick pocket professionals in the French Quarter. My phone and atm card was stolen.
This convention center is amazing. I can only imagine how great it will look once it is finished.
Massive. I can't speak on working directly with the venue as the organizer of an event, but as an attendee to a trade show, I thought this venue was nice!
A place where deals get done. Expansive. Where your trainers....
Needed more did options and construction was a pain. Parking was also very expensive.
Good layout. Food is horrendous. Good thing there are lots of great places near by.
They might have done a better job steering participants inside, the crowds were outside on the streets when entrance was available from several other doors.
Beautiful and clean space, be prepared for TONS of walking! Staff was energetic and fun but also helpful!
Very rude staff and wouldn't assist me in any way in retrieving my tickets from will call. Even though I had my order confirmation, credit card, screenshots, and driver license, three different tellers wouldn't give me my tickets. DO NOT USE WILL CALL HERE!!! $100 ticket and nothing to show for it and miserable experience.
Great venue and massive. Enjoyed my time there and the bathrooms are clean. Hahaha
This place practices blatant racism. The security metal detectors for Essence were inexcusable. Voted "Worst Board of Directors" in New Orleans.
Very nice convention center. Right near the cruise ship port. Sits just near a popular outlet mall. Features Starbucks stops throughout and a full service Starbucks in the center. Very spacious. Parking surrounding the building ranges from $20-$30
Um.centro convention the envy of many cities ... very large and comfortable ... perfect for large events
Oh this is so big. You have to work miles inside on corridors to get to one room from another. There are stairs but so confusing.
Enough room to land a b52 inside lol I worked here many time setting up conventions
Exceptionally large ?? Conference venue ...it handled the Court Technology Conference I attended with no prob. Close to French Quarter ... Canal St...and the Warehouse Dist ...all good places to visit/walk to.
Right now construction and road work mess things up a bit ...but it's a good location.
Great place for the Nutanix convention. They have good facilities for events.
Went for a Halloween exhibition. It is a big clean place. Well set up.
U can't beat da shows. The first annual New Orleans tattoo convention was off the chain.
Huge convention center.
Many outstanding restaurants within the parameter and all at walking distance.
Parking is available and costs $15-20 for the whole day: park at the one that follows the center, there are other parkings that belong to private people and they will charge you more. I'd rather uber/lyft.
Went for CSM. Nice clean place, but be prepared to pay extremely high prices for parking.
Huge with plenty of amenities. I attended the SHRM Conference here and was impressed.
It's a pretty nice venue. The food inside is not really that good but there's plenty of options in the surroundings if your conference is not too big and restaurants don't get crowded. Be advised that the convention center is looooooong and going across of it takes even 15 minutes
Good place for our convention. Took good care of us.
Well laid out, well lit and easy setup. Expensive parking.
Very organized convention center, easily accessible by public transportation or walking from many nice nearby hotels
So big. Can be a very long walk, make sure get dropped to the right spot
Very spacious seating good to view cheer performances. Food options were not great but not many of these events do. Had the roast beef po boy if your here I've tried several things by far worth the jacked up price you pay than other options
