Visa & entry documents

Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

Visa not required

ATA Carnet: check with organiser

Type	Who needs it	Fee	Processing
B-1 business visitor visa	Foreign nationals travelling to the United States for temporary business purposes such as attending a scientific, educational, professional or business convention or conference, unless they qualify for entry under the Visa Waiver Program	$185.00	Consulate interview appointment waits vary from a few weeks to several months; apply 3-6 months before the October 2026 show dates
Visa Waiver Program / ESTA	Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries who travel for business meetings, conventions or conferences and hold an approved ESTA authorisation	$21.00	ESTA authorisations are typically issued within 72 hours but can take longer if additional review is required

Citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United States need no visa. Nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries, including most European Union states, the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, can travel for business using an approved ESTA instead of a visa. All other nationalities require a B-1 business visitor visa.

Ophthalmic lasers, imaging systems and demo instruments may need temporary import paperwork. Coordinate with US Customs and Border Protection and your freight forwarder before build-up, and verify whether an ATA Carnet or a customs broker arrangement applies to your shipment; the listing currently flags ATA Carnet as not accepted for this event, so confirm directly with the organiser and CBP.

Weather

New Orleans in October averages highs near 25-27C (77-81F) and lows of 17-19C (63-66F), with roughly 84-92 mm of rain spread over about 5-8 wet days and around 10 hours of daily sunshine. Humidity stays high and the Atlantic hurricane season runs through November, so check forecasts in the week before travel.

Plan for the climate

Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Venue connectivity

US mobile data for business visitors comes from a travel eSIM, a local prepaid SIM, pocket WiFi or public WiFi; eSIMs can be installed before departure and avoid roaming charges. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and most nearby hotels provide WiFi, but an eSIM or local SIM is recommended for reliable video calls and tethering during the meeting.

Ride-hailing

Public transit

Car rentals

Cultural notes

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

Tipping and service

Tipping is expected across New Orleans hospitality: 18–20% on restaurant bills, USD 2–3 per bag for hotel bell staff, and USD 1–2 per drink at bars. Larger restaurant parties often have gratuity added automatically, so check the check before adding more.

Business dress and greeting

Business casual dominates the scientific programme — physicians typically attend sessions in smart casual, adding a jacket for evening receptions. US meetings are noticeably less formal than European congresses; a firm handshake, first names and brief small talk before business are the norm.

Local etiquette and event-week practicalities

Louisiana's open-container rules apply on French Quarter and Warehouse District streets but alcohol is not allowed inside the convention center halls. October still falls inside hurricane season, so keep a weather app handy and note the venue's emergency procedures on arrival.

Practical guides

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Flights

Destination: MSY

Book flights to MSY when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue; compare BTR only if fares are materially lower.

Visa

Most foreign nationals need a US B-1 business visitor visa to attend the AAO Conference & Expo; nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries can instead travel under an approved ESTA. Permitted B-1 activities expressly include attending a scientific, educational, professional or business convention or conference and negotiating contracts.

Estimated cost: USD 185 standard US nonimmigrant visa (MRV) application fee, non-refundable and non-transferable; USD 21 for an ESTA authorisation under the Visa Waiver Program.

Processing: B-1 interview appointment waits vary by consulate and can range from a few weeks to several months, so apply 3-6 months before travel. ESTA authorisations for Visa Waiver Program travellers are typically issued within 72 hours, though additional review can take longer.

Schedule the visa interview at the US embassy or consulate in your country of residence or nationality and bring your AAO registration confirmation plus an invitation letter. Attending a scientific, educational, professional or business convention is an explicitly permitted B-1 activity. Apply early because October is a busy meeting month in New Orleans and appointment slots fill quickly.

Plan your trip

Planning

Best day to visit: Saturday 10 October 2026 — day two and Expo Hall opening day

Friday is dominated by separately ticketed Subspecialty Day tracks, so the general programme and the AAO Expo Hall open in full on Saturday. Saturday and Sunday carry the highest session density — opening and named lectures, the largest block of instruction courses, the busiest poster hall and full exhibitor staffing — while the closing day runs shorter with early hall breakdown. Arriving for Saturday also gives the widest choice of Expo Hall demonstrations and evening alumni receptions.

Check passport validity for at least six months beyond October 2026 — Determine whether you will need a US B-1 business visitor visa or can travel on ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program for the AAO 2026 Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

Start visa or ESTA processing — Submit the ESTA application or book a B-1 interview at the nearest US embassy or consulate; interview waits vary widely by country and can run several months.

Register online through aao.org — Complete AAO 2026 Annual Meeting and Expo registration and note the badge pickup window, with early pickup from Friday, Oct. 9 to avoid long lines.

Book flights into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International (MSY) — MSY is the primary gateway, roughly 20-30 minutes from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center; Baton Rouge Metropolitan (BTR) is a secondary option about 80 mi away.

Reserve a hotel near the venue — Warehouse District properties on Convention Center Boulevard are the shortest walk: Hyatt Place New Orleans/Convention Center 0.1 mi and Hilton Garden Inn 0.2 mi.

Download the AAO Meetings mobile app — Use the app to review abstracts, presentations, speakers and the exhibitor list, and to take notes alongside available session slides.

Shortlist exhibitors from the AAO Expo list — Search exhibitors by company name, product category, medical specialty and ophthalmic condition to plan which stands to visit first.

Pre-schedule supplier meetings — Contact device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and practice software suppliers to lock meeting slots on the Expo floor before the show opens.

Build a session timetable — Plan scientific sessions, posters and Subspecialty Day programmes such as Pediatric Ophthalmology and Retina alongside Expo time.

Arrange airport transfer, shuttle or parking — On-site venue parking runs about USD 23 per day per vehicle via the ParkMobile app; official hotel shuttles to the Transportation Depot across from Hall G take 10-30 minutes per leg.

Pack for warm, humid October weather — Bring lightweight layers, a compact umbrella or rain jacket, comfortable shoes for the long convention center halls, sunscreen and a light sweater for cold session rooms.

Confirm day-one logistics and badge collection — Arrive at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center early, collect your badge and the printed hall plan, and reconfirm your meeting schedule and session rooms.

What is your primary role?

Decision matrix

Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

visit

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Practising ophthalmologists, retina and cornea subspecialists, residents, fellows, optometrists and practice administrators evaluating new surgical platforms, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Min. budget

$350.00

Timeline

4-6 weeks for flights, Warehouse District hotel and B-1 or ESTA travel authorisation before the October 2026 meeting.

Risks

October is a heavy convention month in New Orleans, so hotels near the convention center sell out and raise rates early.

B-1 visa interview waits can run several months for some nationalities, so book the consulate appointment before paying for flights.

exhibit

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Ophthalmic device, laser and phaco platform manufacturers, diagnostic imaging suppliers, pharmaceutical and biologics companies, contact lens and dry eye brands, and practice management software vendors targeting US and international surgeons.

Min. budget

$2,200.00

Timeline

3 months for space booking, stand build, freight and visa processing ahead of the AAO 2026 Expo in New Orleans.

Risks

Exhibit space, freight and customs for demo equipment need early booking and can raise total cost well above the floor budget.

Priority hall positions are allocated on booking order, so late commitments may land in lower-traffic areas.

skip

Assess how this option fits your objectives.

Best for

Non-clinical suppliers and companies with no ophthalmic product line, no US distribution plan and no budget for travel or stand costs this cycle.

Timeline

No lead time required; next comparable window is the following year's Academy annual meeting.

Risks

No access to the ophthalmology buying audience or the scientific programme while the show runs.

Missing the product launch and subspecialty networking window means waiting a full year for the next edition.
