Making Your Mark in the Big Easy.
We love New Orleans for its unique character and vibe. Also known as The Big Easy, New Orleans is the largest metropolitan area in Louisiana and is famous for its symphony of culture, food, historical and modern architecture, joie de vivre, and great corporate event options. NOLA has a reputation for strength and resilience and its gentile Southern hospitality. On the surface, New Orleans operates at a relaxed pace, but underlying this easy vibe is a world-class civic infrastructure designed to support hundreds of thousands of annual visitors. Though the downtown is very walkable, NOLA’s international airport, public transportation system, modern hotels, and extensive services make the city easy to get to and work in.

Trademark’s Take on New Orleans
New Orleans is full of sophisticated conference and event venues, hotels, dining, and entertainment options. It’s a storied city with a culture and a variety of truly unique activities and atmospheres. Like many popular cities, we recommend that you book early. The best times to host your corporate event in New Orleans weatherwise are between March and May as well as mid-October through November. These spring and fall months combine comfortable temperatures with average or below-average rainfall and often align nicely with corporate event objectives. We are well-connected to NOLA hotels, entertainment venues, and support services that are needed to make your event a success. We are aware of any incentives or savings offered by the city or its hotels and venues, so we can often secure pricing that isn’t advertised. Trademark is a GO for New Orleans.
