Hotel Information

Update 10/18/16: The host hotel is sold out. If you still need rooms, we may be able to assist by calling our office at 800-648-8411.

The host hotel is the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. To take advantage of our specially negotiated sleeping room rate, please click here to book your reservations into our Conference room block, or call the hotel at 1-800-445-8667 for reservations.

Please be advised that we do not authorize, or provide contact information, for third party hotel booking agencies. In the past, it has come to our attention that several exhibitors have received calls from Exhibitor Housing Services offering to book rooms for the New Orleans Investment Conference. Please note that this company, Exhibitor Housing Services, is not affiliated with the New Orleans Investment Conference, nor with the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. We have been in close contact with the hotel and have been informed that these types of companies will try to entice groups potentially staying at hotels to book into a block that they may (or may not) have secured at the hotel or move into a block they have (or may not have) reserved at another hotel.

For simplicity and credibility in booking, please be sure to utilize the links provided here to ensure that you receive the proper discounts available to New Orleans Conference attendees.

Thank you again for your support and participation in the 2016 New Orleans Investment Conference!
