USA - The New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), in partnership with the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, has secured a series of conventions to be held between 2012 and 2014 attracting over 66,000 delegates.
With an estimated local economic impact of US$77.6m the confirmed conventions include the Club Managers Association of America, Kiwanis International, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine, American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Benevolent and Protective Order of ELKS.
“With millions of dollars in improvements to the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and all the elements that make our city so authentic, it's no surprise that New Orleans is the destination of choice for major conventions,” says vice president of convention sales for the New Orleans CVB, Nikki Nicholson.
Already on the books for 2013 are conventions such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Society of Neurological Surgeons, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Dental Association and the American Society for Cell Biology.
The New Orleans CVB is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010.
