Exhibitor Kit

The Exhibitor Kit is our internal document which contains very important information pertaining to your booth, the Exhibit Hall and all due dates for required submissions.

All required due dates for submissions must be met in order for the Conference planning process to go smoothly. If deadlines are not met for requested materials, those benefits of your sponsorship may be forfeited.

Please select your kit by sponsorship level:

Powerpoint Presentations

We utilize widescreen (16:9) ratio screens.

To change the ratio:
File > Page Setup > Slides Sized for > OnScreen Show 16:9

There’s also an explanation of it here:

Wireless Internet / Audio-Visual Services

Wireless internet will be provided in the meeting space and Exhibit Hall this year, compliments of the New Orleans Investment Conference. Password information may be obtained at the Exhibitor Registration Desk on-site. (Your company can sponsor WIFI for the entire event and the password could be your ticker symbol!

Decorator Service Kit and Shipping Information

Freeman is the official show decorator. They will be your contact for shipping items to or from the conference, labor for installation or dismantling, ordering furniture or renting other items for your booth. They are also able to design and print exhibit-related graphics and signage.

Click here for Freeman’s Quick Facts flyer, which contains event-related information and instructions on how to use Freeman’s services. If you need to contact Freeman directly, please phone Exhibitor Support at (888) 508-5054 or click here for a direct link to Freeman’s online Service Kit.

Electronic Lead Retrieval

Using the Whova event app, exhibitors can easily collect leads by scanning the QR code on attendee name badges using their own smartphones. Leads can also be added manually if a QR code is not available. Simply download the Whova event app from the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play (for Android), join the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference and scroll down to the Exhibitor Hub section. 

For step-by-step instructions on how to use Whova’s Lead Retrieval Tool, download the app and access Whova’s online instructions by clicking here, then scroll to the Gathering Leads page. Note that you must be registered by Conference staff first in order to access the 2025 event and the Lead Retrieval Tool.

Hotel Information

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 504-561-0500 (or 1-800-HILTONS) for reservations and specifically mention the New Orleans Investment Conference to receive our group rate.

Any company reaching out to make your travel or airport transfer arrangements is likely a scam, as we do not provide exhibitor contact info to third parties. 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.

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 and/or emails from companies seemingly representing the Conference’s interests, offering to book rooms for the New Orleans Investment Conference. Please note that these companies are 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.

Thank you again for your support and participation in the 2025 New Orleans Investment Conference!
