Convention Center - New Orleans, LA

This Phase I, 820,000 square foot facility served first as the state pavillion for the 1984 World’s Fair and then as the New Orleans Convention and Exhibition Center. Located on the Mississippi River on Convention Center Blvd, it serves as the meeting place of choice for a great many out of town conventions as well as local functions like the Zulu Ball. The economic effect this structure has had on the city of New Orleans since 1984 is immeasurable, and it continues to be a marvelous New Orleans landmark.
