The Women in Photojournalism Conference coming to New Orleans in 2008
Call it “The City of Mystery” or the “Paris of the South” New Orleans will be the site of the 2008 NPPA Women in Photojournalism Conference. Everyone is familiar with the history of the city, now come and join us to see the new New Orleans August 8, 9, 10, 2008.
This city features cultural riches; sensual indulgences and unparalleled service that define the New Orleans experience continue to flourish, as they have for centuries. The most celebrated and
historic core of the city – including the Faubourg Marigny, French Quarter, Central Business District, Warehouse and Arts District, Magazine Street, Garden istrict, Audubon Park and Zoo and St. Charles Avenue – is thriving.
With all of its facets, a New Orleans experience is never anything but completely authentic. The city’s marvelous eccentricities are born from a rich heritage, respectfully and indelibly woven into the fabric of everyday life here. New Orleans doesn’t act a part for its visitors; it simply welcomes everyone with open arms to a world all its own.
The majestic Astor Crowne Plaza will be our host hotel for this conference. It is the gateway hotel
to New Orleans' most exciting destination - the world famous French Quarter. Located where Bourbon Street meets Canal Street, The Astor Crowne Plaza allows for quick access to both the excitement of Bourbon Street and nearby downtown attractions of Harrah's Casino, Aquarium Of
The Americas, Riverwalk Shopping Center, Morial Convention Center, N.O. Sports Arena and the Superdome.
We have been able to get an outstanding rate of $129 per night for single and double occupancy. These rates will be available three days before, and three days after the conference. This hotel is truly a jewel of Bourbon Street!
