A small and compact airport. On arrival the baggage claim is small. On the way there is a bit of confusion in check in counters, you can usually save time by using automatic kiosks. Security control is tight, they even take off shoes. There aren't many gates, so you get to Gate right away. There are eating and drinking places and a few shops inside.
Really Big ,Convenient shuttle service , food are deliciously fresh "hmmm Po Boy"
It's huge. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, because no matter what you do here, it's bound to involve a mile or more of walking. The facility is pretty clean. The food is absolutely horrible though, so make sure to plan a bite at a nearby spot outside. Some of the meeting rooms are located directly underneath the Mississippi River Bridge, so don't be surprised to hear a honk or two and some serious rumbling during your meeting.
Good luck finding a place to sit if you're between meetings.
Close to shopping, french quarters and the bubbly new Orleans canal Street and Bourbon Street party land
everything a conventioneer needs...almost everything.
Essence Fest is always held here and parking is affordable and easy access. Great place to get your steps in IJS LOL
Awesome for a big event. The 2019 Teacher Summit was almost 5,000. But the building never looked crowded. Even when we all ate in one room.
The events are nice here, but the staff is rude, especially the security staff. They act like it's an inconvenience to answer a question and talk down to you with the answer to your question. This happened to me twice and others from the company I work for. I also observed someone get treated poorly by security for having their child with them. The security guard told them they were an unfit parent for having their child and they we're endangering their welfare for bringing them to a comic convention........ It was extremely rude and uncalled for. I told the guard they were out of line and needed to back off from the people and asked for a supervisor. One never came, but that guard sure walked away in a hurry when someone stopped him from bullying a mother and her kid. Best part is, they weren't even doing anything, just walking down the main corridor and the kid slipped on some spilled liquid.
Loved it I was there for the ARA show and couldn't have been treated better by the staff
Very large convention center. Lots of food choices, including a Starbucks. But you can not use your Starbucks card at this location. Staff are overall friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were relatively clean for such a large facility.
It's a convention center. You get it. Perhaps more varied food options would earn an extra star. In-house A/V and tech support could have been better.
Enjoyed the Supernatural convention. Refreshments are drastically overpriced.
This convection center is very large with three food courts.
I was there for the essence festival and it was huge well laid out and air conditioned excellently because it was hot as Hades in New Orleans in July
I went to Clean Show 2019. There are many restaurants in the large convention hall. There is a free shuttle to the city hotel.
Like a lot of places in New Orleans...way over priced. Especially when cruise ships are going out. :(
That place is massive...I walked 8 miles inside the facility on an average for 4 days...was there for a conference...has a mall right beside it...a river behind..great...that Starbucks is just way too insufficient for a place this big.. sitting arrangements could be better...I hope they have a easy access wifi by now..and it's new Orleans..so indulge in ...
Huge venue. Not super clean or modern, but very spacious.
Clean big space for TC18. The auditorium setup was too deep, making the view terrible from the back.
Helpful, friendly staff.
Was there for a WrestleMania event, had a great time!!!
Great place. It is the best convention center I have visited. The facilities are very clean, it has all the services and the weather is very pleasant.
I am here for the ACA conference. It will be a busy day for me
They're trying to be accessible. They're large enough to host conferences with around 50,000 attendees at the same time. The space is flexible for different needs; the tech assistance is top notch.
Main drawback...it's huge and difficult to navigate. They make scooters available, and they're good scooters. However, the elevators are undersized and difficult for even staff to get the scooters in and out of.
Final note: There are no grassy areas near to the conference for service animals to use...you will have to cross to a median/neutral ground of a nearby street.
I was there to attend a 5 day conference. Great venue but it was always freezing inside the building. So cold that the glass windows were always wet and dripping - not comfortable to get work done, unless one wears several layers of sweaters.
This building is enormous and has no moving sidewalks or anything to expedite travel for the regular folks (i.e. not convention center staff or police) from one end of the mile long building to the other. This makes it very difficult if you're mobility impaired at all. The bathrooms, while they're clean, are very far apart. It's just a gigantic building.
Way too long to walk around, needs a cruise terminal cut through.
No wifi access, upkeep of facility was minimal, large enough for big conferences but have minimal dining choices within the convention center
It qas a very nice place, just very congested, I felt like the Hairshow was unorganized, parking was expensive and Traffic was hectic. I will not be back.. Leave the Hairshow in Atlanta
Very good place to have big conferences. The traffic around is not fun.
The New Orleans convention center is bigger and better than it has ever been in years!!!!
Super wide convention center ... very well located and with all kinds of facilities for visitors
This convention center is massive! Surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and historical buildings and tours. The riverfront shopping and outlet stores are next door. Parking is offered all around and lots are available as well.
It is a very large convention center with all the resources to attend events of all kinds.
I went here for Essence Daytime experience great time
It's really big. Can be a bother to walk through. No covered parking
Beautiful facility, good WiFi. Could use better food options.
Excellent facilities, great huge spaces and friendly staff...
This is one of the most efficient convention centers that I have ever visited. They have easy access, good location near many tourist attractions, and they have a mall next to it with plenty selection of stuff that you may need last minute! That's is a huge plus, but also they have a food court the convention center with a decent variety of food stands, Nevertheless, there is a lot more variety of food stands at the mall too. One of my problems during conventions is finding place to lunch, since many conversations centers just a have a couple of cafeterias with very bland food, this is not the case here.
An enormous venue. You'll get your step count in walking around this place.
Be prepared to walk a long, long walk through the building. Plenty of hotels close. Parking isn't the greatest, not that i would expect better in the middle of a city. Bring your walking shoes
The food is very expensive best to go Riverwalk to eat.
Nice place for a Convention. Parking nearby is expensive.
Make sure you know which your event is on, inside the center is huge.
Convention center with all the necessary amenities and very good service
Massive is an understatement. I had to walk from one end to another several times. Least I got my steps in for the day.
Good space for large groups didn't like the parking situation
