approx. 15-16 mi (25 km)
to venue
approx. 20-30 min via I-10 E in normal traffic
by car

Smaller regional airport northwest of New Orleans; only worth it when the fare gap comfortably covers a long car transfer or a connecting flight into MSY

approx. 1 h 15 min - 1 h 30 min by car via I-10 E
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center
3-star, guest rating around 4.2, eco-certified; breakfast, free Wi-Fi, paid parking, outdoor pool, fitness center and bar. Walkable to the MCCNO halls, which removes daily taxi costs.
Hyatt Place New Orleans/Convention Center
3-star with a guest rating around 4.0; free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, parking, fitness center, bar and laundry. Rates for March dates were tracking below the property's usual peak.
Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans Convention Center
Midscale limited-service option with breakfast and Wi-Fi included; a practical base for agency teams that need several rooms at a controlled rate.
Embassy Suites by Hilton New Orleans
All-suite property, eco-certified, guest rating around 3.8; free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, parking, outdoor pool, fitness center and bar. Suite layout suits small delegations holding in-room meetings.
Courtyard by Marriott New Orleans Downtown/Convention Center
Business-oriented rooms with workspace, fitness center and on-site parking; a 12-15 minute walk or short rideshare to the MCCNO entrances.
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
About 15-16 mi via I-10 E, roughly 20-30 minutes outside rush hour. Flat-rate airport taxi is the simplest option with luggage.
rideshare
Uber and Lyft both serve MSY from the designated rideshare pickup zone; compare the in-app quote with the taxi flat fare before choosing.
streetcar
Useful for hotels along the riverfront and Canal Street; stops sit within a few blocks of the MCCNO halls.
walk
The Hilton Garden Inn, Hyatt Place, Hampton Inn and Embassy Suites cluster is genuinely walkable; the saving versus daily taxis is significant over a three-day show.
taxi
Long-haul airport transfer; only sensible if your BTR fare saves more than the transfer cost. Shared shuttles and one-way rentals are alternatives.
parking
Useful for regional delegates driving in from Baton Rouge, Lafayette or the Mississippi Gulf Coast; arrive before 08:30 on keynote mornings.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Weather
New Orleans in March is mild and spring-like: afternoon highs near 21-22 C (70-72 F), overnight lows around 11-12 C (52-54 F), and roughly 8-10 rain days across the month. Humidity builds through the day and spring showers can be heavy but short, so breathable layers plus a compact rain jacket work better than a heavy coat. Halls and session rooms run cool with air conditioning, so bring a light layer for indoors.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
US carriers Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile cover the Warehouse District and the convention center area well; international visitors should buy an eSIM or travel SIM before arrival rather than relying on roaming. MCCNO normally provides Wi-Fi in meeting rooms and public areas - confirm the network name and any delegate access code at badge pick-up. Power outlets in session rooms are limited, so bring a battery pack for a full day of floor and session use.
Ride-hailing
Taxis
Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business dress
Business casual and smart casual dominate the RES/CON floor; agency and utility delegations often wear branded polos, while vendors and consultants lean to jacket-and-slacks rather than full suits.
Badge and security
Expect bag checks and badge scanning at MCCNO entrances. Carry photo ID matching your registration and allow 15-20 minutes on the first morning of the show.
Tipping
Tip 18-20% in restaurants and bars, a few dollars per bag for hotel staff, and check the suggested-amount screen in taxis and rideshares.
Networking rhythm
Meetings often continue over receptions and dinners in the Warehouse District. Exchange cards during the day and send a short follow-up email the same evening - delegates typically fly out the day after the closing session.
Afternoon storms
Spring thunderstorms arrive quickly in New Orleans and locals wait them out indoors rather than walking through. Keep a 15-20 minute buffer on any walking transfer between hotel and venue.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: MSY
Book into MSY for the shortest, cheapest transfer to the venue; it has the widest nonstop network of the three regional airports. Compare BTR or GPT only when the fare saving clearly covers an 75-80 mi car transfer. For international arrivals, allow a US connection of at least two hours for customs and re-checked bags, and book the inbound flight for the day before your first session.
Check U.S. Department of State business and visitor visa pages to confirm whether you need a B-1 business visitor visa or qualify for the Visa Waiver Program before travelling to New Orleans.
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Official references captured: travel.state.gov business visas, USCIS B-1 temporary business visitor page, and USTravelDocs for scheduling. Confirm requirements for your nationality early.
OfficialGet to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY): approx. 20-30 min via I-10 E in normal traffic; Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR): approx. 1 h 15 min - 1 h 30 min by car via I-10 E. Allow road or rail time to New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center: Convention Center district, about 0.2 mi (5 min walk) from the venue: Hilton Garden Inn New Orleans Convention Center; Convention Center district, about 0.4 mi from the venue: Hyatt Place New Orleans/Convention Center; Convention Center district, about 0.6 mi from the venue: Hampton Inn & Suites New Orleans Convention Center.
Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft both operate across New Orleans, with a designated pickup zone at MSY and drop-off points along Convention Center Blvd. Expect surge pricing when the exhibit floor closes and after evening receptions; walking the 5-20 minutes back to a Convention Center district hotel is often faster than waiting.
Public transit: The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) runs the Airport Express from MSY into downtown, local buses across the CBD, and the Riverfront and St. Charles streetcar lines. Riverfront streetcar stops along Convention Center Blvd serve the MCCNO halls. Fares are per ride with a day-pass option - confirm current schedules and fares with the RTA before relying on transit for timed sessions.
Parking: MCCNO is served by surface lots and a parking garage adjacent to the halls, with additional private lots along Convention Center Blvd. Budget roughly USD 15-25 per day and arrive before 08:30 on keynote mornings. Confirm current rates, lot assignments and oversized-vehicle rules with the venue or your hotel before driving in.

Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)
Mid-show days at RES/CON New Orleans usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.
Confirm your registration category on resconnola.com and check passport validity plus ESTA or B-1 visa status if you are travelling to the US from abroad.
Book flights into MSY and reserve a Convention Center district hotel; March is high season in New Orleans and rates climb sharply closer to arrival.
Download the schedule at resconnola.com/schedule, shortlist exhibitors in communications, GIS, backup power and hardening categories that match your capability gaps, and email for meetings.
Pack breathable layers and a rain jacket, confirm your airport transfer (flat-rate taxi, rideshare or RTA Airport Express) and check MCCNO badge pick-up hours and hall access.
Collect your badge, walk the floor once to map vendors against your shortlist, then lock in follow-ups with the agencies, integrators and suppliers you need for the next grant or procurement cycle.
