Event Planners’ Guide to Louisiana

From top to toe, Louisiana offers meeting and event planners quite the compelling package: a unique culture that includes world-renowned cuisine, a vibrant, non-stop music scene, iconic architecture, attractions, and a remarkable history. Louisiana also lets planners have their pick of some of America’s top modern event facilities and historic venues, along with “only in Louisiana” experiences. The Bayou State’s convention and visitors bureaus also offer a high level of professional support, ensuring memorable and extraordinary events.
