2. It’s time to start planning for the 2016 American
Association of Code Enforcement annual educational conference in New Orleans.
Situated on a bend of the Mississippi River 100 miles from its mouth, New
Orleans has been the chief city of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico’s busiest northern port
since the early 1700s. Founded by the French, ruled for 40 years by the Spanish and bought
by the United States in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, New Orleans is known for its distinct
Creole culture and vibrant history. Significant battles of the War of 1812 and the Civil War
were fought over the city.
During your trip to New Orleans you'll have the opportunity to indulge in world-famous cuisine,
savor specialty cocktails and dance the night away to some of the best live music in the world.
Our laid back, friendly culture inspires guests to relax, kick up their heels and live it up. The
city balances a love for tradition with the energy of innovation, resulting in an eclectic vibe
found no where else.
Now is the perfect opportunity to visit New Orleans ... the most authentic,
walkable, historic, soulful destination in America. For visitor testimonials or more information,
please visit www.neworleanscvb.com

the airport upon arrival. If you need a rental car, there is an Enterprise Car rental
location across the street from the hotel.
