2012 World Trade & Transport Conference
The Mississippi Valley Trade & Transport Council will host the 30th Annual World Trade & Transport Conference February 15 - 17, 2012 at the Omni Royal Orleans in the New Orleans French Quarter. The Omni is a new venue for us, and we think you are going to really like the hotel and meeting spaces. Our block of rooms is close to selling out, so act now. Click on the hotel reservation link to the left.
We are planning an especially interesting set of spiritied panel discussions, and will post the lineup shortly. We will also soon post an up-to-date attendee list here.
The Mardi Gras Fete will return to the Red Fish Grill again this year with a return of the oyster bar, lollipop lamb chops, seafood buffet and chocolate bread pudding. Need we say more?
Don't pass up the opportunity to take a pleasant Mississippi River boat ride on the Port of New Orleans combination fire / tour boat. Come pass a relaxing good time with us on the Mississippi sipping a bloody mary and taking in the river sights. Seating is limited so call the office for a reservation
We especially thank our generous 2012 sponsors who make this event possible.
